INTRODUCTION.
A popular historian has said that the study of history ' ' sets
before us striking examples of virtue, enterprise, courage,
generosity, patriotism ; and, by a natural principle of emula-
tion, incites us to copy such noble examples." We, of the
present generation, know but little of the trials, fatigues,
hardships, fears and anxieties, which our fathers and mothers
of early New England days experienced and willingly endured,
that they might establish a government and found a nation,
where the privileges of civil and religious liberty, and the
benefits of general education, should be the blessed inheritance
of their posterity for all time.
Having been accustomed to the even temperature and mild
winters of the British Isles, the abrupt change of location, with
unavoidable exposure to the harsher climate and rigorous win-
ters of New England, caused many of the delicate ones among
the first settlers to waste rapidly away with consumption or
other unlooked-for diseases, while even the most vigorous of the
first one or two generations after immigration, being subjected
to the unceasing toil and the perils incident to early settle-
ments, rarely attained the age of three-score and ten. But they
looked beyond the present with the affairs that concerned them-
selves only and comprehended the possibilities of the far-
distant future, and with laudable self-sacrifice and persistent
eftbrts amidst harassing discouragements, made such provision
for the well-being of their descendants as their oppoilunities
afi:brded. It was evidently a chief desire and great aim with
them so to establish in the lives of those committed to their
care, principles of piety, morality and virtue, and habits of
industry, mental culture and economy, that they in their turn,
and each succeeding generation, should, in the words of the
IV INTRODUCTION.
Psalmist, "make them known to their children; that the
generation to come might know them, even the children which
should be born, who should arise and declare them to their
children."
When it seemed certain that they were securing the germs
of the blessings they had so fondly sought, they were sorely
embarrassed by having their precious liberties curtailed, and
were suddenly deprived of the privilege of having rulers of
their own election, and obliged to submit to the arbitrary dicta-
tion of governors appointed from beyond the sea. Their best
men were often demanded as soldiers, and required to take
long and perilous marches through the unknown wilds of the
forest, and wexe exposed to the dangers of camp and battle-
field in distant parts of the land, in order to carry on wars for
the crown of England ; and then, as if this were not enough,
they were burdened with taxes to defray the expenses of those
wars. They were often in terror of midnight attacks, when
their homes were liable to be reduced to ashes, and they or
their families slaughtered by a foe more wily and treacherous
in his nature, more cruel and unrelenting in his hate, than any
previously known in history. They were obliged to work
early and late with but little diversion, in order to wrest from
a stern and unyielding soil, the products necessary for the
comfortable maintenance of their several households ; the num-
bers of whose members as compared with the size of some of
the families of modern civilization, could our hardy ancestors
be permitted to see the startling change, might well cause them
to blush for their posterity and feel alarm for the future
existence of their race. They would have spurned the prac-
tices followed by modern voluptuaries in the pursuit of ease
and pleasure. Constant bearing of life's heavy burdens, expe-
rience of trying hardships and the practice of sturdy virtues,
enabled them to build the foundations of a race whose charac-
teristics of energy, perseverance and general progress, have
excited the admiration of the world. Although occasional per-
sonal misdemeanors and a few public acts, which might be
cited, show that we must not extravagantly claim for all of
INTRODUCTION. V
them unexceptionable purity and integrity, or that as a body
they always acted wisely and justly ; yet, considering the state
of society in England prior to their emigration, and the injus-
tice and abuse to which they and their ancestors had in some
cases been subjected, we can but be surprised that high moral
principles were so generally exemplified in their lives, and that
their public decrees toward those whom they regarded as
propagators of error were so seldom characterized by vindic-
tiveuess. As well do the deeds of piety, patriotism and benevo-
lence which they actually performed, as the rigid self-denials
which they practised and the crushing hardships which they
patiently endured, entitle them to our admiration. In seasons
of danger to the body politic they voluntarily and promptly
offered their time and services to relieve the community from
the threatened perils. And taking a later and less general
view, subsequent to the first century of settlement, after per-
sistent industry united with manly energy and judicious man-
agement had won the smile of Providence in the accumulation
of ample fortunes, we see, in several instances, a large propor-
tion of those fortunes yielded up and benevolently and piously
contributed for the promotion of education, morality and
religion. It is a sacred duty that we, especially as their
descendants, owe to such nol)le men and women as these, to
preserve carefully the memory of their lives, that their posterity
to the remotest generation, being incited by the " natural
principle of emulation," may be led "to copy such noble
examples."
"Phillips," a name spelled in a variety of forms, is of
ancient and classical origin, being derived from the Greek,
Philos-hippos, or horse lover. In Wales and other parts of
Great Britain its use as a surname has continued for a long
period, evidently for five hundred years, and perhaps much
longer. It is said that " Phillipse " is Welsh and that
"Philips" is from Worcestershire. It is stated by good
authority that the Watertown family of this name were of the
" Philips " of Worcestershire. Some are positive that all the
VI INTRODUCTION.
English families of this name had their origin from Wales and
subsequently spread over Great Britain. Several different
ways have been employed in spelling, as Phillips, Philips,
Phillipse, Philipps and others, some of them so peculiar as
hardly to be recognized as having a common origin.
Families and individuals of this name began to emigrate
from the Old World at a very early date in the history of this
country, as early as 1630, and some a little earlier, and locate
at different points near the sea-coast, but more especially in
New England. From that time to the present they have con-
tinued to multiply and spread, by natural causes and by emi-
gration, until now they are to be found in every State from
Maine to California ; and those in this country who spell their
name by the more common form of Phillips, are numbered by
thousands.
It is now exceedingly difficult to establish the relation which
existed between many of these earlier Phillipses or to trace out
satisfactorily the several lines of their descendants. Of the
family of Rev. George Phillips of Watertown, Mass., there
have been at least ten generations. There may be some now
of the eleventh, but if so, no notice of them has come to the
writer. None of the first five generations are now living.
The last one, probably, of the fifth generation died in 1865 at
the great age of nearly 105 years. There are five divisions of
this family so marked by long continued residence in particular
localities that they might well be designated as distinctive
branches. These are the Andover Branch, from Rev. Samuel
Phillips who located in that town in 1711 ; the Boston
Branch, from Hon. John Phillips who went there to live
about 1718; the Brookhaven Branch, from Rev. Geo.
Phillips who located in Brookhaven, Long Island, 1697 ; the
Makblehead and Salem Branch, from Jonathan Phillips who
removed from Watertown to Marblehead about 1719 ; the
Oxford Branch, from Joseph Phillips who went there from
Watertown not far from 1725. It will perhaps be noticed
that the Christian name Samuel occurs in nearly every genera-
tion of the Andover branch ; while in the Oxford branch there
INTRODUCTION. vii
is an almost entire absence of either of the names Samuel, Sarah
or William. Some members of each of these branches might
have been found living in or near the several towns from
which the respective branches take their names, at any time
during the last one hundred and fifty to two hundred years.
Some of the earliest progenitors of the New England families
of this name of which the line of descent has not been fully
traced appear to have been the following :
Nicholas Phillips (Deacon) of Weymouth, 1640, seems to
have had a large family, and a large number of the name at the
present day are doubtless his descendants. The recurrence of
such names as Joshua, Richard, Benjamin, Caleb and Experi-
ence, goes to show that one branch of his family removed to
the vicinity of Dighton, Mass., at an early day. Some who
have given the subject attention are of the opinion that part of
those of the name in the early history of Rhode Island were his
descendants.
John Phillips was of Duxbury and Marshfield, 1638 to 1677
or later and probably had a large number of descendants ; but
the statement on page 123 that his family appears to include
those given under Nos. 70 to 89 is found to be incorrect so far
as it relates to Capt. John Phillips of Easton, page 135, who
came probably from Weymouth prior to the year 1700, and
whose apparent age would place his birth not far from the year
1670, giving so much ground for believing that he may have
been the son, born June 21, 1669, of Nicholas Phillips of
Wejnnouth, page 192.
John Phillips (Col.) of Charlestown, about 1655, had a large
family and numerous descendants.
William Phillips of Boston, 1640, had descendants living
about one hundred years later.
Henry Phillips of Boston, 1640, afterwards of Dedham,
had descendants in the vicinity of Boston more than one hun-
dred years later and appears to have had a numerous progeny.
Viii INTRODUCTION.
James Phillips of Taunton, son, probably, of William, 1643,
of same place, had children born from 1661 to 1675.
Andrew Phillips of, or near, Charlestown, married prior to
1659, had descendants living more than sixty years later. A
recurrence of several names would lead to the conclusion that
he was the ancestor of Ebenezer Phillips of Southboro, page 97,
whose origin is involved in mystery, but nothing as yet found
goes to prove the connection.
At the time of commencing this work, in 1877, it was the
purpose of the compiler to include only the descendants of
Joseph Phillips of Oxford, Mass., a grandson of Rev. George
Phillips of Watertown ; and it was only a few weeks before
going to press that it was decided to include all that is
embraced in these pages. But in the collection of material for
completing the original design, considerable amount of records
and interesting items of history of other families or branches of
this name came into the possession of the compiler, and he was
led to take in historical matter of families of the name appa-
rently not connected with the Watertown family. Had it been
known at the beginning how much was to be included, a
still more extended research would have been made in some
directions, and the arrangement might have been somewhat
diflerent.
That the genealogies given in this work are all correct can
hardly be expected. Different individuals, in giving their
recitals of the same event, sometimes make statements at
variance with each other ; sometimes they give different dates
for the same event, and frequently the town records differ from
those kept in families. These differences have at times made
it a difficult matter for the compiler to decide which was to be
received and which rejected ; but in cases of doubt he has taken
particular pains to arrive at what appeared to be strict truth.
In some cases of a disagreement in dates, both dates are given.
The transcriptions have all been carefully reviewed, and it is
believed that each name and date, except a few in which errors
INTRODUCTION. ix
were apparent, is given exactly as furnished to the compiler.
Some of the incidents related are from oral statements by-
elderly but well-informed persons, some of whom lona: since
passed away. Many have manifested a deep interest in the
work, and kindly furnished whatever, in their possession^ was
likely to aid in its preparation. On the other hand, laro-e
numbers showed no interest at all ; and of the many hundreds
to whom inquiries were sent out, soliciting records and other
historical information, not one half ever gave a response. This
will account in some measure for the want of completeness in
portions of the genealogies.
The writer takes pleasure in extending his sincere thanks to
all who have kindly contributed genealogical matter for these
pages. The number is so great that want of space forbids the
mention of each by name. In the necessary correspondence a
sort of letter acquaintance has been created, which, to say the
least, will leave pleasant memories, and in some cases it is
trusted has ripened into permanent fi-iendship. Some have
rendered special assistance in various ways and it would hardly
be proper to close without giving them more than a general
notice.
Early and liberal subscriptions from Daniel Phillips of
Hartford, Conn., and Walter P. Phillips of New York City,
without which this book could not have appeared in its present
attractive form, entitle them to grateful acknowledgments.
For some of the principal sketches acknowledgments are due
to Mrs. E. W. Clark, Westboro, Mass., Mrs. J. H. Westgate,
Maiden, Mass., Mrs. Geo. B. Eaton, Jersey City, N. J.,
Israel Phillips, Greenfield, Mass., Dea. Charles C. Phillips,
Greenfield, Abner S. Phillips, Bondville, Vt., Joseph Christie,
Phdadelphia, Penn., Geo. Bassett, Ashfield, Mass., Nelson
Phillips, Black River, N. Y., Nathan P. Dodge, Council Bluffs,
la., and Miss E. M. Phillips, late of Medway, Mass.; also
to the authors and publishers of numerous publications from
which miscellaneous extracts have been frequently taken.
Perhaps the greatest amount of material drawn from any
X INTRODUCTION.
one work is from Dr. Henry Bond's Genealogies and His-
tory of Watertown, a work of great value, in which a large
number of New England families may trace their pedigree.
The descendants of Rev. Samuel Phillips of Eowley, 1651,
are given in the following pages mainly as found in that
work. It will be seen that the New England Historical and
Genealogical Register, a work which no writer of genealogies
should be without, has contributed a great number of items,
some of them quite essential in making out the proper connec-
tions. Obligations are gladly acknowledged to the few who
have generously agreed to insert portraits of themselves or
friends at their own expense. Grateful acknowledgments are
due to Mr. E. M. Barton, the cordial and communicative libra-
rian of the American Antiquarian Society, for his helpful sug-
gestions and oft-repeated permission to examine the books of
the library. The printing has been executed at the press of
Charles Hamilton, and the neat and symmetrical arrangement of
the typographical work is due to the watchful oversight of Mr.
Benjamin J. Dodge, a printer of long experience, the present
results of which well meet our anticipations. The lithotype
portraits are from the works of the Lithotype Printing Co.,
Gardner, Mass., and many thanks are due to their faithful and
affable agent, Mr. Frank Lawrence of Worcester, for his
repeated and patient efforts under all circumstances, sometimes
perplexing, to secure unexceptionally satisfactory work. For
the steel engraving of Hon. Samuel Phillips thanks are due to
Mr. Geo. P. Smith of Boston, agent of the Congregational
Publishing Society, for permission to use the plate in their
possession. The autographs are printed from the neatly and
faithfully executed work of Messrs. Kyes & Woodbury of
Worcester.
The following arrangement is by families and sub-families
rather than by generations, though the number of the genera-
tion is shown by the Roman letters at the left. Each special
family is numbered at the head, and for convenience in refer-
ence, these numbers are continuous through the book. The
INTRODUCTION. xi
name of each family head is printed in bold type, and when the
children of any married daughters are included, their surnames
are given in Italics. The fragmentary records at the close of
the book are given in the hope that they may assist some in
retracing their family line, and enable them to make the proper
connection with other branches. The abbreviations most used
are, b. for born, bap. baptized, d. died, m. married, dau.
daughter, ch. child or children, res. residence.
The number of names in the following genealogies is upwards
of three thousand.
Whatever the defects of this work, and the compiler is aware
of many, he trusts that he has preserved a few interesting, and
perhaps not altogether unimportant, historical items, as well as
some links in the chain of genealogical succession which might
otherwise have been lost. There is still a wide field for genea-
logical research among the families of this name. To aid and
encourage any who may be willing to correct errors or supply
omissions which come to their notice, and to the end that
correct and more complete genealogies of the several femilies
of this name may be produced at some future time, a copy of
this work with a large number of blank pages interleaved will
be deposited in the rooms of the New England Historic Genea-
logical Society, Boston, Mass., and letters of correction for-
warded to that address will receive proper attention. It is
hoped that all who can will avail themselves of this opportunity
to assist in producing, as nearly as it can be done, perfectly
correct and complete genealogies.
The compiler cannot expect to regain pecuniary remunera-
tion for his labors, his experience being somewhat similar to
that of other genealogists who have asserted at the close, that
had they known the amount of labor involved they never would
have attempted the task ; but if what is here given shall only
cause those of the name into whose hands it may come to pre-
serve carefully all items of family history and lead some one in
each of the main branches of the name, parts of which are to

be found in this book, to work out a complete genealogy of
his own branch, one great object of its production will have
been accomplished ; and the labor will not have been lost if any
are led to emulate the benevolence, the devotion to duty, the
patriotism or the piety of the worthy examples found recorded
on the following pages.

(I.) Rev. George Phillips, the first minister of Water-
town, Mass., son of Cliristopher Phillips of Rainham, was born
about 1593, at Rainham, St. ^Martins, near Rougham, in the
hundred or district of Gallow, County of Norfolk, England.*
He graduated as B. A. from Gonville and Caius College,
Cambridge, 1613, and received the degree of M. A., 1617.
"He gave early indications of deep piety, uncommon talents,
and love of learning, and at the University distinguished himself
by his remarkable progress in learning, especially in theological
studies for which he manifested an early partiality." He was
settled for a time in the ministry in Sutiblk Co., but suflering
from the storm of persecution which then threatened the non-
conformists of England, he determined to leave the mother
country and take his lot with the Puritans.
He embarked for America, April 12th, 1630, in the Arbella,
with his wife and two children, as fellow-passengers with Gov.

June 12th. Here his wife soon died and was Iniried by the side
of Lady Arbella Johnson, both, evidently, being unable to
endure the hardship and exposure incident to a tedious ocean
voyage, t
He soon located in Watertown, and without delay was settled
over the church in that place which was called together in July.
At the Court of Assistants, Aug. 23, 1630, it was "'ordered
that Mr. Phillips shall have allowed him 3 hogsheads of meale, 1
hoo-sh of malte, 4 bushells of Indean corn, 1 l)ushell of oat-
meale, halfe an hundred of salte fish." Another statement from
the same source says, "Mr. Phillips hath 30 ac of land graunted
him vpp Charles Ryver on the South side." % His first resi-
dence was burnt before the close of the year. There is a
tradition that his later residence is still standing "opposite the
ancient burial ground, back from the road." §
He continued to be the pastor of this church, greatly respected
and beloved, till his death fourteen years after his arrival. He
died at the age of about fifty-one years, July 1, and was buried
July 2, 1644. " He was the earliest advocate of the Congrega-
tional order and discipline. His views were for a time regarded
as novel, suspicious and extreme, and he, with his ruling elder,
Mr. Richard Brown, stood almost unaided and alone, until the
arrival of Mr. John Cotton, in family maintaining what was and

throp says, in a letter to his son, John Winthrop :
"From aboard the Arbella, riding before Yarmouth, April 5, 1630.
Yesterday we kept a fast aboard our ship and in the Talbot. Mr, Phillips exercised
with us the whole day, and gave very good content to all the company, as he doth in
all his exercises, so as we have much cause to bless God for him."
t It cannot be thought egotistical for one who does not trace his origin to this Mrs.
Phillips, to say that there is now little or nothing from which to form an opinion of
her except the lives and characters of her noble descendants ; and judging from these,
it is reasonable to conclude that she was a woman of high social standing, lofty moral
virtue and strong intellect.

of Mr. Phillips in gi^^ng form and character to the civil and

in the list of those who were admitted freemen, May 18, 1631,
which is the earliest date of any such admission.
His inventorv amounted to £.550 2s. 9d., a sum, allowino-

married (2d) Blizabeth . proliably a widow of Capt.
Robert Welden. She died in Watertown, June 27, 1(581. In
speaking of his descendants, the writer quoted at the beginning
of this record says :

(11.) Rev. Samuel Phillips (son of George, of Water-
town: No. 1,) was born in England, 1625, probably at Box-
stead, in the County of Suftblk ; grad. at Harv. Coll., 1650;
settled in Eowley in 1651, as colleague of Rev. Ezekiel Rogers.
"He was highly esteemed for his piety and talents, which were
of no common order, and he was eminently useful, both at
home and abroad." He married in Oct., 1651, Sarah Apple-
ton, born in Reydon, Eng., 1629, dau. of Samuel Appleton.*
He died Apr., 22, 1696, "greatly beloved and lamented," and
his widow died July 15, 1714. Her funeral sermon was
preached by her grandson, Rev. Samuel Phillips of South
Andover, in which he says, "She was an early seeker of God,
and spent much of her time daily in reading the word and in
prayer She took care of her children's souls. . . . .
She was always humble and penitent, and as she lived, so she
died, depending on Christ for righteousness and salvation."
Their remains repose in the ancient burying-ground at Rowley.
Some of their descendants have been among the most distin-
guished of New England people for their intellectual talents,
piety, benevolence and public services. There have been seven
Samuels in this line in direct succession, with the exception of
a John between the fifth and sixth, and all since the first two
were residents or natives of Andover. The seventh and last
was recently cashier of the Maverick Nat. Bank, Boston.

(V.) Hon. Samuel Phillips (son of Samuel and Han-
nah : Xo. 4,) was born Feb. 13, 1715 ; grad. Harv. Coll., 1734;
was engaged for some time in teaching a grammar school, but
he had a natural taste and rare fitness for mercantile and other
business pursuits, into which he soon entered with zeal and a
determination to succeed. His natural sagacity and deep fore-
sight, strengthened by a long and varied experience in different
departments of business life, gave him confidence and insured
the success which enabled him in after life to perform the acts
that have caused his name to be associated with works of useful-
ness and beneficence. He was extensively engaged in the
manufacture of gunpowder at the time of the Revolution, and
for this he erected an expensive mill, which in 1778 was de-
stroyed by an explosion in which there was a loss of life of three
persons. "In 1788, he built a paper-mill, which was carried
on by Phillips and Houghton. He was often the representative
of Andover, and member of the Executive Council before the
Revolution, and in the Revolution was a staunch whig : was
many years a civil magistrate, discharging the duties thereof
with the most exemplary fidelity. Such were the sternness and
precision of his manners, alwa^'s frowning on vice and disorder,
16 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY [No. 5.
that they did not contribute to his popularity. Early habits of
exactness and economy enaliled him to accumulate a large
estate, much of which he appropriated to the public good."*
The crowning act of his life, that which more than anything
else causes his memory to be held in grateful and perpetual
remembrance, that which makes hundreds of professional, and
other learned men his beneficiaries, was the part he performed
as founder of the Academy at Andover. In this, however, he
acted in connection with his brother, Hon. John Phillips of
Exeter, N. H., afterwards sole founder of Phillips Exeter
Academy, to whom is perhaps due an equal share of the honor,
and at the suggestion of his son Samuel, known as Judge Phillips,
to whom is to be accredited the further honor, that he conceived
the original design, worked out the plan, and drew up the con-
stitution. The School was established April 1, 1778, the two
brothers having given for the purpose one hundred and forty-one
acres of land in Andover, two hundred acres in Jaffrey, N, H.,
and five thousand dollars in money. "The lands they directed
to be let out on proper terms, the money to l)e put on interest
on good security, and the profits to be forever appropriated and
expended for the support of a public free school or academy,
in the South Parish of Andover." f The school was opened
with twenty scholars, on the 28th of April, 1778, in a joiner's
shop, purchased from the funds subscriljed ; and thus, Phillips
Academy, known at first as Phillips School, had a practical
beginning. In speaking of the relations of these three men to
the two academies, a writer before quoted says : J
"The three men — and the older ones especially were men of
sound judgment, who moved cautiously, and were not led away
by any blind enthusiasm — together planned the enterprise,
determined the locality, and took the necessary steps to bring
the school into active existence. The combined gifts of these and
other members of the Phillips family for the endowment of the
academy amounted, in round numbers, to one hundred thousand

dollars, and for half a century it was under tlie fostering care of
some member of the family. Phillips Academy at Andover,
was incorporated by an act of the Legislature in 1780, being the
first academy so incorporated in America. Six months later.
Dr. John Phillips, of Exeter, secured the incorporation of Phil-
lips Exeter Academy Thus these three men were
founders of the two schools ; and though the sums bestowed,
when measured l)y the standard of more modern gifts, do not
cause astonishment, when compared with what others were doins:
at that time, both in America and in England, they are simpl}^
magnificent It was an act of faith, of strong will and
high purpose, and the spirit which underlay the design is
embodied in the elaborate constitution which serves for both
schools The present school 1)uilding replaces one that
was destroyed by fire. It stands near the top of a hill which is
crowned l^y the buildings occupied by the theological seminary
of the Conoreo-ationalists, established in 1808. AVe mention it
here because it has an organic connection with the academy, the
two institutions being under the same board of trustees, the
younger having sprung from the loins of the elder, partly as
the consummation of a purpose originally formed by the
founders of the academy, partly as the solution of a difiiculty
which had arisen when the incorporation of the theological sem-
inary had been sought. It is plain, too, that the academy is
influenced in many ways l^y the presence of the seminary. . . .
. . . Friendships spring up between the older and younger
men, and the two institutions help to correct each other. The
fact of the theological school as organically connected with the
academy has served in many ways to deepen the religious
character of the academy and to identify it more closely with
the religious denomination with which it is affiliated."
He married July 11, 1738, Elizabeth Barnard, daughter
of Theodore Barnard of Andover, and gr. dau. of Rev. Thomas
Barnard of North Andover, who died 1718. By this marriage
with an only child, the real estate at Xorth Andover, formerly
owned by the Barnard family, became the homestead which has
been retained in the Phillips family for so many succeeding

generations. The store carried on by Mr. Phillips in that place
was opened in a part of the same house occupied by the family.
He died Aug. 21, 1790, aged 75. She died Nov. 29, 1789,
aged 71. "Her letters are very interesting, and show her to
have been a woman of great piety and strong religious views."

(V.) Hon. John Phillips (son of Samuel and Hannah:
No. 4,) was born Dec. 27, 1719 ; grad. Harv. Coll., 1735. He
taught in public schools in Andover, Exeter and other places,
after which he had a private Latin School in Exeter. He fitted
himself for the ministry, and received a call from the church in
Exeter, but for some reason relinquished all plans for preaching
and entered extensively into mercantile life. He was a justice
of the peace, a trustee of Dartmouth College for twenty years,
from which he received the degree of LL.D. in 1777, "and
founded and endowed in that College, the Phillips Professorship
of Theology." He "was authorized to be, in some singular
cases, one of the Judges of the Superior Court." In his business
he was eminently successful, and accumulated a large fortune,
all of which he devoted to benevolent objects. He gave liberally
with his brother for the founding of Phillips Academy, Andover,
in 1778, and in 1789, gave it the further sum of twenty thousand
dollars, "for the virtuous and pious education of youths of

genius and serious disposition." He bequeathed, by his last
will, one-third of all the estate of which he died possessed, "for
the benefit more especially of charity scholars, such as may be
of excelling genius and good moral character, preferring the
hopefully pious, and for the assistance of youths liberally edu-
cated, designed for the ministry, while studying Divinity under
the direction of some eminent Calvinistic Minister of the Gospel,
until a professor of Divinity, able, pious, and Orthodox, should
be supported in this Academy, or at Exeter, in New Hampshire,
or in both." It Avas this purpose of the founders, of securing,
permanently, instruction in Theology, which led, about thirty
years later to the founding of the Andover Theological Seminary.
He was the founder of the Academy in Exeter. In 1781, he
' ' secured the incorporation of Phillips Exeter Academy from
the New Hampshire Legislature, giving to the school in life and
by be(iuest property amounting at the time to about sixty-five
thousand dollars, but noAV, under admirable management, greatly
enhanced in value." In speaking of his acts in connection with
this institution, a writer before quoted says: "Phillips Exeter
Academy has its own history and characteristics quite independ-
ent of Andover. It is almost wholly the child of Dr. John
Phillips. . . . Dr. Phillips was one of the trustees at Andover
from its first organization till his death, and for the last five vears
of his life president of the board. His endowment of Exeter thus
was an act in generous emulation of his own beneficence. The
wise provision which he made for the support of the school, and
the care exercised by those in charge of the endowment, have
given to the Academy a wholesome independence, so that it
occupies to-day a position of self-reliance and integrity, having
funds sufficient for its support irrespective of its receipts from
tuition fees. During the century which has nearly closed since
its incorporation it has had, until recently, but three principals
in succession Dr. Benjamin Abbot, the former of these,
graduated at Harvard in 1788, and immediately went to Exeter
as principal. The choice of this man hints at one distinction
between Andover and Exeter. Dr. John Phillips, like his
brother and nephew, was a firm adherent to the old school of
20 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY [No. 7.
New England orthodoxy. He was also a man of deep Ininiility
and large-mindedness. He saw in Benjamin Abbot, an Exeter
youth, the qualities which constituted a wise teacher, and he
chose him to the place, although their theological preferences
were at variance, — Abl)ot belonging to the new school which in
process of time became organized Unitarianism. To measure
Dr. Phillips's liberality, one must needs place himself among
his contemporaries, and not aiuong his descendants. Not only
did Mr. Phillips make this appointment, but two of the trustees
originally chosen by himself, and three others chosen during his
lifetime, held theological opinions opposite to his own
The connection with Harvard University has always been a close
one, and no other school in the country, save the Boston Latin
School, has sent so large a number of students to Cambridge,
while the standard of scholarship has been of the highest. The
largest proportion of boys at Exeter has Harvard in view, and
the reputation for scholarship which Exeter enjoys at Harvard
has been unbroken for nearly a century."

(VI.) Hon. Samuel Phillips (son of Samuel and

born Feb. 7, 1750 ; grad. Harv. Coll., 1771 ; a member of the
Provincial Congress at Watertown, 1775 ; Lieut. -Governor.
He was the only heir to a large estate ; but with a spirit of
heroic self-sacrifice, he prevailed on his ftither to divert the
property, which would legally fall to him, to the founding of the
Academy at Andover. And it is to this self-sacrificing spirit,
his benevolent heart, his desire to promote the education and
good morals of the youth in his community, and check the
growth of vice which he saw spreading with the advance of

civilization, by the establishment, in his native town, of a per-
manent school worthy of the Commonwealth in which he lived,
that the institution owes its existence. A long distance in
advance of the people of his day, his deep and far-seeing mind
conceived the original design, and he cautiously, deliberately and
wisely drafted the constitution, now in service for both this and
the Exeter Academy. "This instrument, with its multitudinous
emendations, erasures, and additions, bears witness to the minute
care with which the founders sought to formulate the principles
of the schools. .... No one can read this paper without per--
ceiving its weight and perspicuity. It was formerly, and perhaps
now is, read yearly at the meetings of the board of trustees, and
drew from one member, who had sat on the board for forty
3'ears, the remark that its language seemed to him more like
inspiration than any thing else except the Bible The
constitution, while defining the courses of study and discipline, the
duties of trustees and masters — not omitting to caution the trus-
tees against extravagant entertainment at their yearly dinner —
lays great emphasis on the conduct of the students, and the
means to be taken for education in morality and religion, declar-
ing that 'above all, it is expected that the master's attention to
the disposition of the minds and morals of the youth under his
charge will exceed every other care ; well considering that
though goodness without knowledge (as it respects others) is
weak and feeble, yet knowledge without goodness is dangerous,
and that both united form the noblest character, and lay the
surest foundation 6f usefulness to mankind.' " *
" Samuel Phillips was an extraordinary man : Init it is difficult
to give, at this day, a just expression of his character. The
religious and moral element in it were mixed so intimately, and
yet so unaflectedly, with the business of the world and the habits
of active life, that he seemed to be a perfect embodiment of the
Christian statesman, scholar, and philanthropist I have
never met, through my whole life, with an individual in whom
the spirit of Christianity and of good-will to mankind were so
naturally l)lended with an indomitable energy and enterprise in
* Harper's Magazine, Vol. 55, p. 564.
22 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY [No. 7.
active life. He was a leader in tlie clmrch, a leader in the State ;
the young loved and listened to him, the old consulted and
deferred to his advice In his capacity for business,
there was, as it were, an universality or ubiquity. In the town,
in the Senate, in the courts of justice, in committees of the legis-
lature, as a referee in cases of great importance, in all other
associations or aftairs of business, his influence was, as far as
was possible in respect of any one man, paramount. For twenty
years he was a member, and for fifteen years president, of the
Senate of the State, at a period when Statesmen were not made
out of every sort of wood. He was judge of the Essex Court of
Common Pleas, a member of every important committee, on
like occasions a referee, and, at the same time, owned and took
a general superintendence of two stores, one at Andover, another
at Methuen, of a saw-mill, a grist-mill, a paper-mill, and a
powder-mill on the Shawshine, giving to each a sufficient and
appropriate share of his oversight ; with a spirit subdued by the
predominancy of the religious sentiment, he was as earnest,
active and indefatigable in this multitude of his engagements, as
though this world was everything." *
"He was religious in study, in trade, in neighborly kindness,
in domestic life, in politics, in every civil office, and in his zeal
to promote learning, as well as in public worship or public
charities. It was emphatically a religious institution which he
was intent upon establishing ; a religious vitality which he sought
to breathe into all education within its atmosphere Thus
Jie was intensely methodical and careful. Any one of his hun-
dreds of manuscripts now extant, taken up at random, w^ould be
an illustration of this trait. He erased, he interlined, he changed
the collocation of words oi" paragraphs, he put in after- thoughts
and side-thoughts, in a common family letter, with as much
painstaking as in the draft of a State paper. In writing the most
familiar communications to his son or his wife, he would copy,
or give an apology for not cop^nng, as if he would not consent
to do anything which he was not anxious to do well ; and the

same scrupulous exactness was shown by him through the Avhole
circuit of his labors, not more as a habit than as a purpose. . . .
So, too, he was a prodirpj of activity : not of haste and bustle,
but of rapid, effective lal)or, in a quiet, unruttted spirit. His
equilibrium was one secret of his momentum. Serene and sunny
in temperament, he sang with the morning and evening birds.
Men everywhere said, 'he is too busy,' 'he will soon be spent,'
but he heard them not ; work had a charm for him — any work,
all work, if so be it were only good Ho cherished a
special fondness for the young Companion of Statesmen
as he was, and a proverb for his gravity, he was never more in
his element than when conversing with a little child, or dropping
his goodly maxims, like the gentle dew, into the heart of some
listening youth." *
His business ver>' often took him to Boston ; and it was his
habit after the close of the fatiguing labors of the day in that
place, to mount his horse and ride to Andover, arriving at home
about midnight. His friends remonstrated against this impru-
dence, l)ut he gave them little heed, feeling that all available time
should be devoted to useful labor. This exposure of his health,
which was never very firm, with constant and incessant applica-
tion to the extensive round of his business duties, doubtless laid
the foundation, as is almost invariably the case under like
circumstances, for the physical troul)les which terminated his
days of great usefulness, when not much past what is usually
considered middle life. He left by will, four thousand dollars
to l)e added to the fund for maintaining instruction in divinity in
connection with the Andover Academy. Although his father,
Hon. Samuel Phillips the elder, in connection with the brother,
Dr. John Phillips, of Exeter, is regarded, and not improperly,
as founder of Phillips Academy on account of his magnificent
life-gifts and bequests ; yet, to style Hon. Samuel Phillips the
younger, as the founder of that institution, while doing no injus-
tice to his worthy parent or liberal-minded uncle, is but yielding
to him the honor to which he is justly entitled. In the connec-
tion of the two Samuels, father and son, with the establishment

No. 9.
(V.) Hon. William Phillips (son of Samuel and
Hannah: No. 4,) was born July 6, 1722. The following brief
sketch, given in Bond's Wafertoum, shows something of his life
and character : "At the age of fifteen years he went to Boston,
and became an apprentice to Edward Bromfield, Esq., a highly
respectable merchant of that town, son of Hon. EdM^ard Brom-
field, for many years one of his Majesty's Council in the Province
of Massachusetts Bay, and a great grandson of Rev. John Wil-
son, the first minister of Boston. At the termination of his
apprenticeship he married, June 13, 1744, o. s., Abigail
Bromfield, eldest daughter of his late master, and engaged in
mercantile pursuits, in which he was very successful. By this
marriage a grt.-gr. son of the first minister of Watertown was
united with a grt.-gr. dau. of the first minister of Boston. He
was for many years a deacon of the Old South Church, and was
repeatedly elected representative and State senator. ' He took a
decided and active part in the proceedings which preceded and
attended the Revolution ; was on many of the committees
appointed by the town of Boston in those trjing times, and often
contributed liljerally of his estate to promote the measures which
issued in the establishment of our independence.' He was one
of the committee sent to demand of Gov. Hutchinson that the
tea should be sent back to England ; was rejected as a Councillor
by Gov. Gage ; was a member of the Convention for framing
the Constitution of the Commonwealth, and that of adopting the
Constitution of the United States. Upon the outbreak of the
Revolution, he moved his family to Norwich, Conn., where they
remained while the British had possession of Boston, occupying
the Arnold mansion, the same house in which the traitor, Bene-
dict Arnold, was born." He gave by his last will five thousand
dollars to Philhps Academy, Andover. He died Jan. 15, 1804,
aged 81. Children:

(VI.) Lieut. Gov. William Phillips (son of William
and Abigail: No. 9,) was born March 30, 17.50; of Boston;
deacon of the Old South Church, representative, and, from 1812
to 1823, Lieut. -Governor ; from 1804 until his death in 1827,
president of the Massachusetts Bank ; presidential elector at
large* in 1820 when the vote of the State was cast for Mr.
Monroe. To the already very liberal endowments of Phillips
Academy, Andover, he added the sum of fifteen thousand dollars,
and gave ten thousand dollars to Andover Theological Seminary.
His generous gifts, distributed among about a dozen worthy
objects, amounted to sixty-two thousand dollars.
"He came into possession of an ample fortune, to the manage-
ment of which, and to the duties of his family and of friendship,
to the service of the public, and to deeds of benevolence, he was
thenceforth chiefly devoted. He was eminently a domestic man,
fond of retirement, and of the society of his fomily and intimate
friends. Yet he was not averse to the calls of public duty."
The Rev. Dr. Wisner in preaching his funeral sermon said :
"Scarcely a measure has been adopted or an association formed
in this city and vicinity for the improvement of the physical, the
intellectual, the moral or the spiritual condition of men, which
has not received his co-operation and liberal support."
He married Sept. 13, 1774, Miriam Mason, born June
16, 1754, 3d dau. of Hon. Jonathan Mason of Boston. She
died May 7, 1823, "greatly lamented." He died Saturday

might have made him the foremost jurist and greatest lawyer
of his time, but he gave up all hope of popularity or personal
emolument from the practice of law, and made it his exclusive
life work to plead, on the public rostrum and at every favor-
able opportunity, the cause of the oppressed, of every nation,
creed and color. Sympathy with the classes whose cause he
advocated led him to give freely of his means to the poor and
distressed. It is said that no really needy and deserving man
or woman ever appealed to him in vain ; yet, his gifts were
bestowed "so silently that no records remain on earth save in
the hearts who love him." The following extracts give a very
brief but clear portrayal of his life and character.
"Especially may the colored men rejoice that it pleased
God to raise up in their behalf this inspired advocate of their
inalienable rights, this terrible denunciator of their wrongs,
this sincere sympathizer with their sufferings, this brave, true,
stalwart frieud. Their rights vindicated before the world,
their wrongs wiped out, their sufferings soothed and healed,
their race set free, enfranchised, educated, elevated, loug will
the colored race remember — how can they ever forget — their
debt of gratitude to Wendell Phillips, to whom was due, as
much as to any man on earth, this revolution in their lot. . . .
. . . Not to the needs of his own country alone could "Wendell
Phillips limit his sympathy. The whole world had no wrong
which did not set his soul on fire, to hate it always and abate
it if he could The terrible evils of intoxication led no
man to be a stronger advocate of prohibition than Wendell
Phillips. The rights and interests of the working classes
found in him a devoted friend His intense earnestness
carried conviction home to his hearers, his tenderness touched
their hearts with irresistible sympathy, his pathos moved them
to tears, his vehemence carried them on with contagious fire,
his commanding presence filled them with respect, his simplicity
and directness and almost alisence of manner left them in
doubt whether art were perfect or wholly absent. . . . Gifted
by nature with a voice of exquisite smoothness, sweetness,
flexibility and grace, and yet of wonderful power when roused
in some great cause, the whole man grew instinct with the fire
and force of impassioned oratory ; aud he swept his audience
almost at his will, yet always without apparent effort, through
the varying emotions which he sought to stir Strong
34 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY [No. 13.
faith and deep piety marked his walk through life. His fellow-
citizens have always respected him for every domestic virtue,
and for a grandly stoical simplicity of life. Full of the gen-
erous spirit of self-sacrifice, seeking no public honor, devoting
his life and his great powers to the cause of the oppressed
even to his own great loss, standing firm against any and all
injustice like the rugged hills of his native State, volcanic in
his outbursts of wrath against oppression, Wendell Phillips
stands as the strongest type of the fearless, uncompromising
intolerant New England reformer." *
" No one had probably addressed so many audiences or
charmed so many ears and fired so many breasts by his wonder-
ful eloquence. . . . His first appearance as an orator was at a
meeting in Faneuil Hall in 1837, called to protest against the
cruel murder of Elijah P. Lovejoy at Alton, 111., for publishing
an anti-slavery paper James T. Austin, attorney
general, made an apologetic speech, condemning Lovejoy and
almost justifying the mob for his murder. Then "Wendell
Phillips fired with a righteous indignation, mounted the plat-
form amidst objections and efforts to suppress him, and poured
forth a torrent of burning eloquence. This young lawyer,
without experience and Avithout a name in his profession, met
and vanquished, routed and annihilated the official chief of the
bar of Massachusetts His eloquence was not of the
grand style, majestic and imposing like that of Webster, witti
solemn periods and elaborate rhetoric. It was impetuous,
swift and scathing, but with the beauty of a noble simplicity,
a clear, trumpet-like voice, manner and gesture full of force
and grace. Throughout his life his habits and manners were
those of a patrician, kindly, neither arrogant nor obtrusively
affable, but with a dignified reserve which commanded some
measure of deference from all who came into contact with him.
.... He was the greatest orator and agitator of his time,
and as such he did a work so great, and so associated his
name with a reform whose influence on the destinies of man-
kind cannot be overrated, that his failings may well be and
doubtless will be forgotten, and his name will live in honor." f

Some of his most greatly admired lectures, such as " Lost
Arts" and " Dauiel O'Counell," it is said, were never written.
The first of these was repeatedly delivered for thirty years
without losing its freshness ; and his efforts in preparing the
other, which he did not expect would gain a reputation, con-
sisted in getting together ' ' material enough to enable him to
talk an hour on the subject he had in hand."
He married, Oct. 12, 1837, Ann Terry Greene, dau. of
Benjamin Greene of Boston. There is a little story told, on
pretty good authority, concerning their marriage. She was
to attend a convention in Albany and Mr. Sumner was ex-
pected to act as her escort ; but he being unable to go, Mr.
Phillips accepted the trust "and lost his heart to her before
he got back." After several unsuccessful efforts to gain an
interview, she being in feeble health, he at last succeeded,
having " almost broke his way to her and offered her his
hand. She said she would never marry a man unless he would
swear eternal enmity to slavery ; but it was not necessary
for Mr. Phillips to take that oath — he had already sworn
it in his heart. So they were married." To his wife, who
was always an invalid, he was chivalrously devoted, regula-
ting his entire life by affection and consideration for her,
and his best acts he ascribed to her influence. He always
resided in Boston with the exception of one year in Florence.
He died Saturday evening, Feb. 2, 1884, at fifteen minutes
past six, after a short but painful illness. Two days before his
death, during a brief interval of rest, after an agony of pain,
he said to his physician, " I have no fear of death ; I am wil-
ling to die to-day as well as anjf time, but for my poor wife."
About an hour before he breathed his last, on reviving from a
fainting spell, he said, " I'm dying; Pm dying." He did not
rally, but continued to sink slowly and passed away "as
quietly as if he was just going to sleep." He left no children.

the second permanently settled minister of Brookhaven,* L. I.,
where he commenced to preach in 1697, though he preached
four years previously in Jamaica, L. I., and is said to have been
one of the early ministers of Brookfield,t Mass. He continued
his ministry in Brookhaven till his death in 1739, at the age of
75. " His character and qualifications were of a high order."
"Mr. Phillips was distinguished for a peculiar vein of natural
wit. His ordinary discourse was tinctured with this peculiarity
and tradition has preserved many of his speeches that exemplify
it." He married Sarah Hallett, horn March 19, 1673, dau.

OXFORD BRAXCH OF THE WATERTOWN FAMILY.
No. 20.
(III.) Joseph Phillips (j^od of Theophilus and Mary:
No. 19,) born Dec. 4, 1702. He married Ruth Towne, and
settled in Oxford, Mass., locating, as nearly as can l)e ascer-
tained, in the present limits of Auburn,* on Prospect Hill, an
elevation of beautiful and fertile table land, and one of the
pleasantest rural spots in Worcester County. The hill com-
mands an extensive and charming view of the surrounding
region, including in its range of vision, a pleasant succession of
mountain, hill and valley ; also, the now flourishing city of
Worcester, and glimpses of several villages. He owned several
other tracts of land in Oxford and vicinity, but this, doubtless,
is the place on which he settled. The late Col. Edward Phillips
of Sturbriclge, a great-grandson, had a fixed impression that
his grandfather, Dea. Jonathan Phillips, the oldest son of
Joseph, was born on Prospect Hill. Col. Phillips also regarded
this place as the old family homestead. After his death, this
farm was owned and occupied by his son, Israel Phillips, and
later, by Simon, son of Israel. At the time of Israel's death
the farm contained, by estimation, eighty acres, but was prob-
ably somewhat larger. At the death of Simon the ownership
of the fiirm passed out of the Phillips name, having been owned
in the family nearly ninety years. The house still standing is
said, by one who once lived there, to have been the same one
occupied by his gr.-son, Simon ; and a little to the rear there
was remaining, a few years since, the foundation and cellar of
another building, supposed to be the original home. The house
is about one mile from the station of North Oxford Mills, on a
branch of the Boston and Albany R. R., and, to any of the
hundreds of his descendants who feel a special interest in the old
homestead of one of their early ancestors, a visit to the place on

a pleasant summer day might well repay the eflbrt. The farm is
the same one lately owned and occupied by AVm. D. Dalrjnnple.
His wife died Jul}' 4, 1760. He married (2d) Dec. 10,
1760, Mrs. Bathsheba Towne of Oxford. He died April
23, 1771, " in the 69th year of his age."
It is impossible, at this day, to give anj^thing like a personal
description of him ; but, from the fact that he left the vicinity
of his father's home when a young man, and sought a home for
himself, in what had been so recently an unbroken wilderness,
where it required constant toil and hardship to secure the neces-
saries of life, we must conclude that he was a man of vioor,
energy and perseverance ; qualities which have been inherited
in a large degree by a good number of his descendants. His
place of burial is not known. In the old Auburn Cemetery,
near the church, several of his descendants are known to have
been buried, though not a monument has been erected in the
yard by friend or relative, to mark the last resting-place of any
of them.
The descendants have, in years past, usually been somewhat
above the average size, not tending much to corpulence, ])ut of
large frame rather than fleshy, and with features rather heavily
marked. Most of them have had " a keen appreciation of wit
and humor," and heartily enjoyed a sharp joke. Not many of
them have been graduates of colleges or entered the professions.
The greater part have lived in farming communities, and more
have followed farming than any other occupation. A good
number rendered efficient aid to then* countiy during the war
of the Rebellion ; some of whom extended their service from
their enlistment in the early days of the war to its close. It is
to be regretted that the materials are not at hand for more
extended sketches of many worthy individuals of whom but
brief mention is now made. Many of them have l:»een men of
integrity, of exemplary lives, and of firm and honorable princi-
ples. Children, all born in Oxford :

(IV.) Dea. Jonathan Phillips (sou of Joseph and
Ruth: No. 20,) was born Aug. 12, 1732; a farmer in Stur-
briclge, and deacon of the Baptist Church in that town. He
and his brothers, Joseph and Israel, were in a detachment of
thirty-four soldiers that marched from Oxford, Aug. 18, 1758,
for the relief of Fort William Henry, on the shore of Lake
George. He Avas the first settler in his immediate neighbor-
hood, and his extensive farm, located at the head of Cedar Pond,
two miles north of Sturbridge Centre, was owned and occupied
by himself and his descendants for one hundred and twenty
years. Perhaps no place in America has been held as a home-
stead by any family of this name for a greater length of
time unless possibly we except the Andover homestead. The
buildings stand in a very secluded place, nestled away on the
westerly side of the valley, at a considerable distance from any
traveled road ; while a little farther up the valley, toward the
north, stood the old saw-mill, where several generations took

and-down" saw as it heavily and tediously jerked its way
through. The house in which he lived was still standing when
the place was last visited by the writer, in 1865, though not
used as a dwelling-house. The family at that time occupied a
neat and commodious brick residence, erected close by, by his
grandson, Col. Edward Phillips, which, though unfavorably
situated for attracting attention and scarcely to be seen from the
main road, is well worthy of a commanding situation. He mar-

medicine with Dr. Thomas Babbitt of Sturbridge, and settled in

his services were often deemed requisite in the neighboring
towns. At the age of fifty he was stricken with a shock of
palsy which so paralyzed him that he was unable to walk, or to
talk so as to be understood for about two years. On the return
of health, he found his memory was so impaired that it was
impossible for him to pursue his favorite calling. Being anxious
to resume practice, he commenced reading medicine again.
After reading for some time, the recollection of it flashed upon
his mind; he remembered that he had read it all before, and
afterwards was able to attend to the wants of the sick, most of
the time, till the very close of his life. He bore arms in the

the Boston & Worcester R. R., which position he held nearly
thirty years, resigning it when eightA^-one years of age. He
possessed considerable musical talent, and was for many years
leader of the church choir. He commenced his public singing
in Charlton Church, when nine 3^ears old, sustaining his part,
the alto, alone ; and was connected with a choir nearly all the
time for fifty j^ears, until his voice failed from disease in the
throat. He was ever a man of few words, liut was always a
lover and promoter of good ihorals, and was one of the original
founders of the Evangelical Cong. Church and Parish in West-
boro, and that, "at a time when most bitter opposition served
to root more deeply the principle that led to outward action."
Up to the age of eight^^-seven, he was able to superintend his
farm, and to work many hours each day in his garden among
the flowers, which had ever been his delight. The portrait pre-
pared for this work was from a photograph taken when he was
eighty years old. He married Oct.- 12, 1818, Ann Maria
Brigham, born July 14, 1794, daughter of Hon. Elijah and
Sarah (Ward) Brigham, and granddaughter of Gen. Artemas
Ward. He was one who always made his home happy, and
their married life included sixty-one and one-half years. He
passed away at half-past one on the morning of May 1, 1880,
and she on the 14th of Dec. following. Children :

some of them among the most important in the United States.

'' He commenced his service as railroad employ^ at a period
when railroads were in their infancy, and has risen in reo-ular
order up to his present important rank as president of one of
the oldest and most influential railroad corporations in the
State. Following his railroad history, it will be seen that in
point of date of service he ranks every other railroad superin-
tendent and president in the country. His first service was as
clerk in the employ of the Boston and Worcester Railroad Cor-
poration, in October, 1839. In June, 1843, he was advanced
to the position of master of transportation, then, as now, an
important post, as the increase of freight on our Massachusetts
railroads demanded a separate department from that of gen-
eral superintendent, and the Boston and Worcester Railroad
direction was the first to recognize this. As master of trans-
portation he remained until September, 1852, when he was
elected, over all others, to the superintendency of the Cleveland
and Toledo Railroad, then one of the most advanced railroads
of the west ; and here it may be pertinent to remark that
in the early history of western railroads, the management
almost invariably selected for the principal offices those who
had been trained on the Boston and Worcester Railroad. This
office Mr. Phillips filled satisfactorily till September, 1858,
when a change took place in the Boston and Worcester Railroad,
and he was requested to return to take the superintendency of
that road. This office he held till October, 1865, when the
west made another demand, and he was elected president of the
Southern Michigan and Northern Indiana Railroad Corporation,
the stock being largely held by New England parties. In
October, 1870, the Wisconsin Central Railroad started up one
of the most important trunk lines of the northwest, and Mr.
Phillips was solicited to take charge of its interests, both in
construction and in its operation — a trust which he executed
with eminent ability as well as satisfaction to his board of
directors. In July, 1878, he retired, after arduous service, to
obtain needed rest ; but he was destined to remain idle but a
short time. The Eastern Railroad complication at this time
had reached a crisis ; a competent president was demanded,
and in 1879 Mr. Phillips was the one selected. His record
and his services as president of that corporation began a new
era in the history of that road. His labors were brilliant and
unremitting, and gave him a reputation which could not be

disputed, at least, for executive ability and fair independence.
Leaving that road, be took tbe presidency of the narrow gauge
road in Missouri, of which he is still president. In November,
1883, after the death of William B. Stearns, president of the
Fitchburg Railroad Corporation, the directors cast about for a
new president, and, out of a large number to select from, they
decided to take Mr. Phillips. He has peculiar qualifications
for the office, as he is familiar with all the details of railroad
operation and management, and is certainly giving character
to this corporation, which is one of the most important in the
State." * While at the West he resided in Cleveland, Ohio,

Shortl}^ after voting the last time, he received from President
Lincoln the following complimentary letter :
"Executive Mansion, WAsmNGTON,
Nov. 21, 1864.
"My Dear Sir:
" I have heard of the incident at the polls in your tOAvu, iu which

you bore so honored a part, and I take the liberty of writing to you
to express my personal gratitude for the compliment paid me by the
suffrage of a citizen so venerable.
" The example of such devotion to civic duties in one whose days
have already extended an average life-time beyond the Psalmist's
limit, cannot but be valuable and fruitful. It is not for myself only,
but for the country which you have in your sphere served so long and
so well, that I thank you.
Your friend and servant,
A. LINCOLN."
On the 29th of June, 18(i0, a large number of his friends and
relatives gathered at the Baptist Church in Fiskdale, about four
miles from his residence, to celebrate the lOOth anniversary of
his birth. As a part of the exercises he oflered a prayer and
made the following address :
"My friends, I give you thanks for this opportunity of seeing so
many of you present, and for the attention bestowed upon me ; but I
feel unworthy to receive it. As I have been requested to offer prayer
on this occasion, I will first make a few remarks. For seventy-five
years I have been a professor of religion, and I have endeavored to
adorn my profession. I am now an old child — broken down — 100
years for you to look upon. I feel that I am a child in knowledge
and in everything else. My creed consists of four particular points ;
— 1st, the goodness of God ; ■2d, the divinity of our Saviour ; 3d, the
power and reality of revealed religion ; 4th, the depravity of man.
Here I stand, a monument of God's goodness."
When al)out fifty years of age, anticipating the decline of life,
he wrote a letter to his oldest son, who was away from home
engaged in teaching, requesting the son so to arrange his plans
as to come home soon and remain, in order to take care of him
in his old age. The son obediently complied with the father's
request ; but, after the lapse of upwards of fifty additional
years, and while the father was still living, the son jocosely
intimated to the compiler of this record, with the usual pleasant
twinkle of his eye, that he regarded the arrangement as some-
what premature, and more especially in view of the fact that he
hardly needed the strong arm of his son to sustain him till near

the close of his protracted life, having retained his native vigor
till it seemed uncertain which of the two would be likely first
to require an arm of support in their declining years.
He was well formed, strong and vigorous. In his prime, his
height was six feet, and, after sixteen years of age, his weight
was always about two hundred pounds. At the age of eighty,
after having used glasses for thirty years, he was able to leave
them off and read without them till within a few years of his
death. AVlien in his 100th year he was summoned to Worcester
as a witness at court, and was able to recoonize his sig-nature
and give his evidence with clearness and distinctness. Next to
a strong and enduring constitution, his long and even life is
attributable to his hal)its of strict temperance. "His manner
of living was always plain and frugal, laboring hard as a farmer,
but not to excess, and not to late hours, usually retiring early
and rising early. He was temperate in eating, drinking, sleep-
ing, workino- and in all thinos."

(VI.) Col. Edward Phillips (son of John and Love:
No. 24,) born April 29, 1786 ; for many years one of the most
prominent and useful men of his town, being widely known and
highly respected, and was continually honored hj being called
to fill the various town offices, — moderator, selectman, assessor,
school committee, and all the minor offices, and was often placed
on important committees. In his early life he was employed
considerably in teaching school. He was elected three times to
represent the town in the State Legislature, held a commission
No. 25.] OF REV. GEORGE PHILLIPS. 59
as justice of the peace for about thirty years, and that of coroner
as long or longer, and was colonel of the home militia. When
Southbridge petitioned the Legislature for a part of the territory
of Sturbridge, which they tried twice, he was sent both times
as agent of the town to aid their representative in opposing the
petition. He was elected, in 1832, one of a committee of four,*
to effect" a design for the Worcester Manual Labor High School,
an institution out of which grew the present Worcester Academy,
and was afterwards one of its trustees. He was a person of
large frame, in his prime upwards of six feet in height, naturall}^
very erect and of dignified bearing : but he fell, while repairing
his house, in 1855, a distance of some fourteen feet and struck
on his head, producing an injury of the spine from which he
never recovered. After this he was never al:)le to carry his head
erect, and it doubtless had the effect of shortening his life by
some years. He had large clear black eyes and heavy features,
but a pleasant countenance. He was, like other members of
the family, inclined to jocularity, was agreeable and courteous
in his manners and entertaining in his conversation.
He married April 7, 1812, Mary Newell f of Sturbridge,
born Feb. 14, 1787. 'She died Jan. 28, 1866. He died Dec.
3, 1869, at the homestead previously occupied by his father
and grandfather. Children, all born in Sturbridge :

* This committee consisted of Isaac Davis aud Otis Corbett of Worcester, Edward
Phillips of Sturbridge. and Otis Converse of Grafton. The details of the plan were
wisely left to their discretion, under the general direction that the instruction should
be of the tirst order ; that strict moral aud religious character should be attained ; and
that every facility should be afforded for productive labor, to the end that education
should be good but not expensive. — Hist, of Worcester. Wm. Lincoln : p. 308.

serving his time and reaching his majority, he started lor Oneida
Co., N. Y., on horseback, his sole capital being his horse, and
twenty-five dollars in money. At Whitestown, X. Y. , he became
acquainted with Sophronia Joslyn (daughter of John Jos-
lyn, formerly of Tyringham, ]Mass., of Xorman French descent),
to whom he was married Jan. 17, 1817. After a few years
they removed to Canastota, Madison Co., N. Y., where he
carried on a large business, in blacksmithing and wagon-making,
and achieved a handsome property. In Oct., 1849, the family
removed to Lake Mills, Jetierson Co., Wisconsin, where he
lived, with the exception of a year or so, at Madison, Wis.,
until his death, Sept. 21, 18(35. She died Feb. 23, 1884. His
daughter, Mrs. H. P. Eaton, to whom the compiler is indebted
for this record of her father's family, writes :
"He was a man of sound judgment, even temper, strong
affections and friendships, universally beloved and respected,
always greatly interested in all matters of public interest.
Judge Spencer of Syracuse, N. Y., recently told my brother
that the first person he ever heard, urge the necessity of free
schools and a thorough education of all classes, was our fiither.
He was an earnest anti-slavery man from the beginning, a man
of l)road intelligence, who kept his interest in all the great
questions of the day, up to the day of his death.
''Our branch has the light brown hair which our father
inherited from his mother's side of the house ; though some of
us take the dark brown hair from the Joslyn side. All of us
have many strong Phillips traits in common ; among them a keen
appreciation of wit and humor. All are inveterate jokers, as
was our father, and all dearly love a good horse, — true to the
Greek origin of our name. Xone of us care much for glitter or
general society ; we are strong in our prejudices, likes and
dislikes. It is interesting to trace heredity extending even to
chirography. I have been surprised to find with the majority
of us such strong reseml)lances in penmanship to others and
remote members of the Phillips family." Children :

Respecting his character, &c., his sister fondly writes: —
" My brother Charley was one of the very best specimens of
the Phillips family that I ever met. All that I could say would
not do him justice nor convey to you an idea of what a grand
good man he was ; genial, witty, of sound judgment, of broad
charity, one of 'God's own men,' as I've heard others call
him. I have often remarked, and so have others, his strong
resemblance in figure and appearance to Wendell Phillips of
Boston. He was the recognized leader of the Republican
party in his county. He served several terms in the Assembly,
and was State Senator-elect at the time of his death. The
Democratic party have a majority in that county of about
1600, but he was elected by over loOO majority. He was
indefatigable in working for the educational interests of the
town and county, and is deeply mourned throughout the State.
He had kept the farm upon which the family settled in 1849,
and had become a large stock raiser, making a specialty of
Alderney cattle and carriage horses."

carder, but after a time, received a commission as justice of the
peace with power to hold jury trials. At first he received his
commission from the Governor, but was afterwards elected by
the people, and was continued in this office till his death. The
amount of his legal business soon became so extensive that he
was compelled to give up his former occupation, and devote
himself wholly to his new calling. Incessant application to this
business, confinement in the impure air of the court room, and
want of sufficient exercise, seriously and permanently injured
his health, which he made repeated but unsuccessful efibrts to
regain. He was, writes one of his children, "a man of no
ordinary ability." He died in Wyoming, Oct. 8, 184U. He

spent with his uncles, Dan-
iel and Simon, went to
Leicester to learn the trade of card-maker ; but the company
failed before his time expired, and we next lind him laboring at
his trade at South Hadley, Mass., and later at Lansingburg,
N. Y. He was the first stage driver on what was called "the
east side mail line" from Springfield to Brattleboro, Vt., driv-
ing from South Hadley to Springfield. The first three years of
his married life were spent in Greenfield ; then he moved to
Hartford, Conn., and took charge of a card factory, for two j^ears
at a salary of two hundred dollars a year. He then removed to
Springfield, and with others there commenced the manufacture
of cards under the firm name of Bowdoin, Phillips & Co.
Four years after, the company obtained a charter under the
name of the Springfield Card Manufacturing Co., of which he
continued as the superintendent. He was chosen 1st Lieut, of
the Springfield Horse Guards, and commissioned by Gov. Levi
Lincoln, and was twice chosen delegate from Springfield to the
Democratic State Convention. His health failing, in 1830, he
sold out his interest in the card company, and moved on to a
farm in Greenfield. In 1835, having regained his health, he
removed to Willimansett, near Springfield, as superintendent
of the Willimansett Manufacturing Co., of which the late Hon.

Stephen C. Bemis was agent and manager, and served in the
employ of Mr. Bemis and his sons in various positions, more or
less every year, for upwards of forty-five years. For two
years he had charge of a hardware store for Mr. Bemis in Troy,
N. Y., with a $10,000 stock of goods; but this enterprise
proved a foilure, and fortune set him down at poverty's gate.
So reduced was he at this time, the spring of 1843, that, with
wife, six children and all his earthlj" possessions, he left the
city for his native town on a one-horse wagon. This was a
heavy blow to bear ; the cloud that overshadowed him was
black indeed, but he passed through the trial manfully. Pos-
sessed with a remarkably hopeful spirit, good health and strong
hands, he entered anew the great battle of life, fortune smiled,
and he not only kept the wolf from the door, but earned and still
enjoys an easy competency. His employer, the late Mr. Bemis
of Springfield, was once heard to remark to a friend, "I have
great confidence in the honesty of Mr. Phillips, why ! I would
trust him with inillions of uncounted gold J" In religion, a
strong believer in the final restoration to peace and happiness
of the whole family of man ; in politics, a staunch Jacksonian
democrat; a Free Mason sixty j^ears.
His son, Dea. Charles C. 'Phillips, to whom the compiler is
indebted for the greater part of this sketch, wrote in 1878, "he
is nearly eighty-one and has just returned from a commercial
trip embracing the New England States and the State of New
York. He is probably the oldest traveling agent and the best
known of any in the country, having been on the road some
thirty-five 3'ears." After the above was wi"itten he continued
to travel for two or three years, but has since retired from the
road, and has been residing with his daughter Caroline, at his
homestead in Greenfield, where 1885, he was still enjoying a
comfortable life. The above autograph was written when he
was eighty-seven years of age. The portrait prepared for this
work is from a photograph taken at the age of eighty.

22, 1797, died in Bernardston, Mass., Feb. 15, 1866. Her

She had the reputation of l)eing an excellent dairy woman, her
butter and cheese always being prized as first class. In confir-
mation of this, she at one time received a testimonial from Hon.
Charles Allen of Worcester, who had long been one of her
customers, in the form of a valuable present, accompanied by a
highly complimentary letter. She was very large, and weighed
at sixty years of age, two hundred and forty pounds. To the
children who were entrusted to her care immediately upon
entering this household, she ever acted the part of a faithful
mother. Soon after the death of her father, in 1826, Mr. Phil-
lips bought the farm near the centre village, which had been

five years, and they moved on to it in 1828, and here they both

this occupation and was for some yeai's employed in tlie ser-
vice of tlie Adams Express Company in Hartford, Conn., and
in New Yorli City. He afterwards engaged in mercantile
pursuits in the latter place, and later in Arkansas, to which
place he went in 1865. He was extremely quiet and unas-
suming in his general conduct, but he met with that bitter
opposition which has too often been the lot of the northern
emigrant to the south. Consequently the unsettled state of
the community led him to enter actively into political and
military life. When attempts were made in 1868 and 1869 to
revolutionize the State Government, he was appointed to the
command of the State Militia, with title of Major-General.
During this trying period his life was hunted by the outlaws
of that region, and he received several bullet wounds in at-
tempts made to assassinate him. After this he was clerk of
the Chancery Court for five years. He was United States
Marshal from 1876 to 1880 for the western district of Arkan-
sas, which includes the Indian Territory, and comprises a
larger area than any other district, and in the amount of
business done, money expended and responsibility cast upon
the officers of the Court, said to be the most important in the
United States. At the close of his term of office in 1880, the
Arkansas Bepublican said of him : " Gen. Upham has man-
aged the Marshal's office of his district better than it has
ever been managed. A better, more able, honest and efficient
officer does not live."
' ' Upham is a man of pure private and public character ; a
man who can be used by no one His character,
ability and peculiar fitness for this position are known and
admitted by all. The way he has admiuistered the office for
four years has forced praises and commenclatious from even
the unwilling. He — with the aid of a judge and district
attorney who have been faithful— has given the people of the
Indian country peace and securitj' against the eflbrts of inter-
lopers, murderers, outlaws and villains of all kinds, until life
and propertj^ are measurably secui'e in that country."
For a number of years he was in the practice of purchasing
at the east and transporting to Arkansas choice animals of
pure Jersey stock, for the growth and development of Avhich
that section seems to have a peculiar fitness, and his herd
and those of his customers included some of the best speci-
mens of breeding stock of this kind which could be obtained
in New England. After retiring from the position of U. S.
Marshal, his health commenced to fail and he came on a trip
to New England, hoping to recuperate amid the scenes of
his native town; but, though struggling manfully against
disease, he continued slowly to decline and died at the home-
stead in Dudley, Nov. 18, 1882. He m. Miss Lucy K. Nash

his house, and entered at first gradually, and after a few years
extensively into the grain business. In this business he has
met with encouraging success, and enjoys the reputation of an
honorable dealer. In 1881, he built a large dam, five hundred
feet in length, one-fourth mile lower down, and erected a com-
modious building for a grist-mill and saw-mill. In 1883, he
bought a tract of seventy-five acres of land with the purpose
of flowing it as a reservoir, thereby largely increasing the
capacity and the value of his privilege. His grain goes prin-
cipally to the Southbridge market, three miles distant. He

on l)utchering and other lousiness, which not proving remunera-
tive, he removed to Hartford, Conn., Oct., 1841. Here he
engaged in the express business, then in its infancy, and which
grew during bis connection with it to the very extensive pro-
portions which it attained in later years. His business eflbrts
were here rewarded with abundant success. He was the Hart-
ford agent of the Adams Express Company for several years
following its incorporation, but for some years past has not
been actively engaged in that business. For many years he
has been prominently identihed with several of the principal
banking, insurance, manufacturing, educational and benevolent
institutions of Hartford, and has been the firm and helping friend
of the important religious and charitable enterprises of the city
and community, ever watching carefully for the best interests

of the city and the institutions with which he has been con-
nected. Being one of the first to engage in the express
business, it is perhaps, not too much to say that the implicit
confidence which the general public have in the express com-
panies of the day, is owing, in no small degree, to the firm and
honoraljle business principles which it was his constant object
to initiate into the system at its commencement. On many
occasions he has been elevated to positions of trust by the votes
of the citizens of Hartford ; he represented the city in the Gen-
eral Assembly at New Haven during the session of 1854, and
was Alderman in 1859. He has been director or trustee of each
of the following companies and associations, several of which
positions he continues to occupy : Hartford Savings Bank and
Building Association, City Fire Ins. Co., Charter Oak Life Ins.
Co., Hartford Steam Boiler Ins. Co., Orient Fire Ins. Co.,
American National Bank, ^Mechanics Savings Bank (also vice-
president of the latter). National Screw Co., Weed Sewing
Machine Co., AYillimantic Linen Co., Theological Institute of
Conn., Hartford Female Seminary, Hartford Branch of the Am.
Tract Society, and Cedar Hill Cemetery. He was a member of
the building committee for the erection, in 1869, of the mag-
nificent business block on Main Street, of the Charter Oak Life
Insurance Co. He was one of the signers of the call for the
first Kepublican mass meeting ever held in Connecticut, and
which resulted in the formation of the Republican party of that
State. Ever since that time he has been a member of that party,
an out-spoken advocate of its principles, and usually a firm
and ardent supporter of its candidates. Being a man of warm
heart and genial disposition, and of a peculiarly practical
benevolence, he has gained a great number of friends among
all classes who will cherish the memory of his many deeds
of kindness. More than one is al)le to say that the business
and social standing to which he has happily attained, is owing
largely to the encouragement which he received in earlier days
from Mr. Phillips. But those who have the best claim to the
afiections of their fellow-men are sometimes the ones who sufier
the heaviest blows at the hands of Providence, and so it has

been with him. He and his wife have been blessed with five
happy children, but they have been removed by death, at inter-
vals of some years, till all are gone. He married April 6,
1836, Mary M. Forbush of Westboro, born Feb. 10, 1812.
Children :
1. Mary Hellen, b. in Westboro, April 21, 1838 ; d. in Hartford,
Aug. 19, 1843.
2. Daniel Austin, b. in Westboro, Feb. 14, 1840 ; d. in Hartford,
March 22, 1861. He was of quick and clear mind, of good
judgment, accurate in forming conclusions, and with an apti-
tude for business which was more than an average for those
of his age. He was of a somewhat humorous disposition, a
pleasant and jovial companion, and had a large number of
warm friends. For considerable time previous to his death, he
was clerk in the office of the Adams Express Co. in Hartford.
3. Henry Curtis, b. in Hartford, Sept. 24, 1843. He was in the
service of the Adams Express Co. for several years as mes-
senger on the railroad between Hartford and Providence, and
in various other capacities. Failing health compelled him to
-give up active employment. He was generous and hopeful in
his nature, a cheerful and pleasant companion. He d. July
31, 1882. He m. April 8, 1878, Addie Gilbert of Hartford,
b. April 8, 1846, dau. of Milo M. and Caroline Gilbert. No

4. Alice Maria, b. in Hartford, Sept. 16, 1848. In the summer
of 1864 she crossed the Atlantic in company with her father
and other friends, and visited with much gratification the prin-
cipal points of attraction in Great Britain, France, Germany
and Switzerland. She d. while on a visit to friends in Albany,
N. y., Jan. 29, 1865. She was noticeable for her amiable
qualities, being possessed of a lovely countenance, a winning
manner and a sweet disposition. She was a light in the house-
hold, and a gentle and confiding friend among her associates.
5. Charles Willie, b. in Hartford, July 3, 1852 ; d. after a brief
sickness, May 16, 1870. Of an agreeable and confiding
disposition, he seemed to gain the affection of all with whom
he came in contact, as well as the perfect confidence of his
employers. Previous to his last sickness he was employed as
clerk in the office of the Charter Oak Life Insurance Co. The
estimation in which he was held by his employers may be shown

(VI.) Moses Dresser Phillips (son of Daniel and Abi-
gail : No. 41,) born May 15, 1813. Not being of a sufficiently
robust constitution to endure the labors of the farm, he left the
paternal homestead, Sept. 18, 1832, being nineteen years of
age, and went to Worcester j then a thriving village of four
thousand inhabitants, where he engaged as a clerk in the book-
store of Clarendon Harris. In 1835 he went into partnership
with William Lincoln, Esq., and with him followed the business
of bookseller and publisher for some years. But desiring a
larger field for his labors, he removed his trade, about the
year 1845, from Worcester to Boston, where, till the close of
his life, he was principal partner in the firm of Phillips, Samp-
son &■ Co., whose extensive transactions in the book trade
gained for them a world-wide reputation, the amount of their
business, part of the time, being regarded as second only to one
other establishment of the kind in America. Thus he raised
himself l)y his OAvn exertions, in a little more than twenty-five
years, from the humble position in which he first entered busi-
ness, to the head of the first publishing house in Boston ; and
he became the founder of the Atlantic Monthly, a magazine
unexcelled in the branch of literature to which it is devoted.
The accumulating cares of busines, greatly increased by the
financial pressure of 1857 and 1858, and by the death of Mr.
Sampson, his chief partner, produced too severe a strain upon
his constitution, and he gradually sunk under the weight thus
brought to bear upon him. He was a man of genial ways, of
firm and honest principles and noble sentiments, which charac-
teristics won for him a large number of friends. In the years
1852 and 1853, he was a member of the Worcester Board of
Aldermen. Perhaps his character and abilities may best be
shown by the following resolutions and statements made on
No. 44.] OF EEV. GEORGE PHILLIPS. 91
the occasion of his death, by men who were familiar with his
business life. At a meeting of the booksellers and publishers
of Boston, held for the purpose of taking some action in regard
to his death, the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted : '
" Whereas, we have learned with regret, of the death of our frieud
and co-laborer, Mr. Moses D. Phillips ; therefore
'■'• Resolved, That we have always recognized in him the character of
an honest, faithful mau ; that we cherish his memory with respect,
and that in his death we have lost au intelligent and useful member
of the trade.
Resolved, That we close our places of business during the funeral
services."
■ One said of him: "He became favorably known for his intelli-
gence, excellent judgment, and executive abilities. In comparatively
a short time the firm gained a high reputation at home and abroad.
The deceased was much respected by the whole community, and was
highly esteemed by a large circle of friends."
Another remarked : "He was a man remarkable for his modesty,
industry, honesty and nobleness of heart ; was amiable, faithful and
reliable. Those who knew him well, agree that he had a genial spirit,
a fund of ready anecdote, and great kindness of heart."
Another wrote : " After almost daily business transactions with Mr.
Phillips and his firm, for about fifteen years, it is but truth and justice
to say, that he always thoroughly understood w^hat he wanted, gave
his orders concisely, managed everything methodically, was always
ready to assist in removing difficulties and smoothing the path, and
never placed obstacles in the way ; was always courteous and agree-
able, even when most pressed by his multitudinous engagements. And
during the whole period, no matter under howsoever trying circum-
stances (and no doubt they were often presented), he never lost his
good temper or spoke to us an unkind word. Amidst a multiplicity
of calls in attending to so large a business, he was always attentive
and social to the caller, and had a ready fund of anecdote, or story,
or humor, to make pleasant the dreary jjath of daily toil and care.
He was to be envied while living, and his memory will be fondly
cherished, we doubt not, by huudi-eds, if not thousands, of persons
who had no kinsman's claim, but who enjoyed the broad comprehen-
sive and practical view he took of the subjects discussed with those
92 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY [No. 44.
whose daily walk brought them into his society. As a business man
he was a model."
He continued his residence in Worcester till 1856, when he
change ^. it to Brookline, four miles from his place of business,
where he died after a protracted illness, August 20, 1859. His
remains were taken to Worcester and buried in Rural Cemetery.

It was the custom of the late Judge Charles Allen of Wor-

and he and his father, counting the few years in which his
father preceded him, furnished that family with table butter
for fifty-one years in unbroken succession. He came into pos-
session of the farm previously owned by his father, and, by
persistent industry, energy and economy, greatly aided and
encouraged in his efforts by his frugal and devoted wife, added
to the original farm of fifty acres upwards of fifty more, some
of it containing valuable woodland. In 1878, having sold the
homestead farm two years before, he removed to Auburn,

OF
EBENEZER PHILLIPS,
OF SOUTHBORO, MASS.
No 46.
(I.) Ebenezer Phillips, the ancestor of a great number
who bear the famil}^ name, was a resident of Southboro, Mass.
Respecting his history, it is much easier to tell what is not
known concerning him, than to relate any of the events of his
life. Diligent research and repeated inquiries have failed to
reveal either his parentage, his birthplace, or the length of
time he lived in Southboro. A copy from the town record
gives no earlier date concerning this family than 1745. His
will, in which he mentions his wife Mary, was dated Nov. 20,
1745, and proved Aug. 21, 1746, showing his death to have
occurred between those two dates.* A written obligation,
dated Feb. 25, 1742-3, and beginning as follows, shows him to
have been a resident of Stoneham :
" Kuovv all men by these presents that I, Ebeuezer Phillips of
Stoneham, in the County of Middlesex, in the province of Massachu-
setts Bay, in New England, yeoman, am holden and stand firmly
bound and obliged unto Ephraim Wood of Southboro, in the County
of Worcester, in the province aforesaid, j'eoman, in the full and just
sum of two hundred pounds, old tenor value."
* Mr. Abuer S. Phillips of Boudville, Vt., in writing to the compiler, says : " My
father had the records of the first of the Phillipses who came to this country, but
they were destroyed by a little roguish girl about sixty years ago. The Phillipses left
a large amount of property in England, choosing rather to leave their property than
to be deprived of the privilege of enjoying their religion." Mr. A. S. Phillips also
has in his possession other papers and relics, including a sword, once the property of
his ancestors.

as late as 1771 or later, to Athol, Mass., where he died
Feb. 4. 1810. f He and four of his sons were soldiers in
the Revolutionary War. His will was dated June 4, 1793,
and presented to probate by Seth Phillips, executor, May 17,
1810. Children, all born in Southboro : :j:

740 to 747, bad a son Andrew, who m. Sarah Smith, Nov. 11, 1685, and had ch.,
Andrew, Ebenezer, .Joanna and Samuel. Of these, Ebenezer was b. 1695, and m.
Mary Smith. This, taken in connection with the fact that Ebenezer Phillips of
Southboro, 1745. had a wife. Mary, and ch. Samuel, Ebenezer and Joanna, and a gr.-
son, Smith Phillips, and that at one time, 1743, he was of Stoneham, which was set
off from Charlestown, points firmly towards the Charlestown, or Boston, families
of this name for the origin of Ebenezer Phillips of Southboro. It would indicate
that Ebenezer of Southboro, was the same as Ebenezer, son of Andrew, and
guided by these statements only, we should reasonably arrive at this conclusion; but
in this we are doomed to disappointment, unless there is an error in the record, or
the printed copy, such as does not seem probable, for it is stated farther along that
Samuel was administrator to his bro. Ebenezer, age 28, July 11, 1723. Whereas,
Ebenezer of Southboro was living more than twenty years later.
t One record says he died Feb. 3. Another says he was born July 3, 1732, but is
evidently wrong. The same says his wife was born June 11, 1736, and died Feb. 3,
1818. This date of her birth is wrong, and perhaps should be 1726 instead of 1736.
X The twelve children are all reported from the town records of Southboro as
" born to Samuel Phillips and Martha, his wife."

evidently erroneous. The dates are widely at variance, aud such a conclusiou is con-
trary to the most authentic records aud best preserved traditions of this family. It
is certain that his graudchildren styled him Ebenezer Phillips, Jr. (sou of Ebenezer
of Southboro), and his son of the same name, Ebenezer Phillips, 3d.

(III.) Ebenezer Phillips (son of Ebenezer, Jr. of
Southboro : Xo. 55,) born Feb. 23, 1752; described 1)}' his
descendants as a man of great muscular development and mar-
vellous strength, six feet two inches in height. It is related of
him, that, on one occasion, Avhen drawing several barrels, filled
with cider, from the mill, the cart accidentally tipped up and
precipitated the barrels into the road. This was repeated after
he had carefully lifted the barrels into the hind end of the cart,
and then, in the heat of the excitement occasioned thereby, he
grasped the barrels hy the chine, one at a time, and lifted them
with agility and apparent ease over the side of the cart. Some
of his descendants, for several generations, have inherited to a
consideral)le extent, his muscular development and strength, if
not his gigantic frame. He was a soldier in the war of the
Revolution, participated in the battle of Bunker Hill, and was
by the side of Gen. AVarren when that distinguished hero fell.
Late in life he drew a pension.* Among his descendants there
has generally been manifested considerable natural talent for
vocal music. He lived in Sutton (now Millbury) and Grafton,
and died in Grafton, June 5, 1834. He married Rachel Gale
of Sutton (uow^ Millbury). Children:

Although no mention is given of enlisting as a regular
soldier, the time in which he was engaged in the service
of his country some two years or more seems to have
been full of wild adventure. He assisted with his team
to convey Gen. McDoAvell's camp equipage from Wash-
ington to Centerville at the time of the first battle of
Bull Eun, and was close by headquarters during the
battle. He soon after went on one of the government trans-

i'

ensuing two years were devoted to service on a farm, when,
being fourteen years of age, he entered the employ of the
American Telegraph Company, at Providence, E. I., as a mes-
senger boy. Here his aptitude and devotion to duty were
made apparent and he soon became a valuable operator. In
1807, he being then barely twenty-one years of age, wc find
him the acknowledged head of the telegraphic profession as a
skilled and rapid manipulator. In that year he performed the
greatest telegraphic achievement on record, viz: "receiving,"
that is, copying from sound, in a clear, legible hand, 2,731
words in sixty minutes, a feat which has never been equalled.
This performance called forth the hearty personal recognition of
the inventor of the Morse telegraph. Prof. Samuel F. B. Morse,
who presented ]\Ir. Phillips with a handsome testimonial ; and,
on April 27th of that year (the seventy-eighth anniversary of
the great inventor's birth), he penned a strong and flattering
autograph letter to young Phillips, acknowledging the wonder-
ful perfection he had reached. In 1870, Mr. Phillips became
the managing editor of the Providence Daily Herald, and the
marked ability with which he conducted that paper attracted
the attention of many of the leading state oflicials, and earned
for him the enduring friendship of numerous men of mark. In
1872, ]Mr. Phillips founded the Attleboro Chronicle, and by his
ability and untiring energy not only made it a flourishing con-
cern in Attleboro, but placed it on the news-stands of the larger
neighboring cities. The Chronicle passed from his hands in
1875, when he entered the service of the Associated Press in
its New York oflice. Although Mr. Phillips entered the latter
service as a subordinate, he was, ten months thereafter, pro-
moted to the important position of principal assistant to James
W. Simonton, who is at the head of all the far-reaching
machinery of this powerful organization.
On the fourteenth of June, 1878, his thirty-second birthday,
Mr. Phillips was placed at the head of the Washington bureau
of the Associated Press, a position of much influence, honor
and emolument. He is also Superintendent of the Associated
Press telegraph line, and under his immediate direction or Avise
118 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY [j^O. 67.
counsels, vast improvements have been introduced during the
past four years. Among these improvements may be mentioned
the "Phillips system of Steno-telegraphy," which doubles the
capacity of wires without the aid of any expensive machinery.
This system has been introduced on the Associated Press cir-
cuits with pronounced success, and is probably destined to come
into general use for the rapid transmission of business on public
lines, at an early day.*
Between 1(S72 and 1875 he wrote some remarkably clever
sketches — studies of by-gone telegraphic heroes — which, in
1876, were published in book form, together with a series of
non-telegraphic stories. His entrance to "the sacred guild of
authors" was greeted with many flattering notices from the
press, and was succeeded Ijy large sales, several editions of the
book being rapidly called for.
In addition to his present duties, he is constantly writing
verses, f sketches and editorial articles for literary, telegraphic
or other scientific papers, and he is at present engaged on a
novel illustrative of a Xew England bo^^'s life. Indeed, he has
been a prolific writer for newspapers for the last ten years, under
the pen names of "Gilbert 81owl)oy," "Maurice McLeod,"
and finally "John Oakum," which is now the widest and most
favorably known.
While to l^espeak for ]Mr. Phillips at present, a place beside
the very foremost of our leading writers of the present day
would be premature, it is no exaggeration to say that his lan-
guage and his descriptions, whatever they bear upon, are as
pure and as clear as those of authors whose style is accepted
as a standard, even if they have not pretended to so wide a
range, and that there is much promise in him for his maturer

school. He is always open to discuss freely the merits of
"the points"' in his eltbrts, excellent as those points may be;
promptly profits by successes and failures alike : is always
thankful for suggestions and sensil^le criticism touching his
literary work, weighs them all carefully, and acts readily upon
them when good ones are made. This is a quality which, of
itself alone, must tend greatly toward final success. Another
of his qualities is untiring industry. While busily engaged, in
one capacity, in supervising the collection and distribution of
reliable and unbiased, but necessaril}' uninspiring commonplace
news and statistics, we lind him on the other hand, in a difterent
capacity, commenting on the same and drawing the appropriate
lesson therefrom for the public, just as naturally aud easily as
though the latter occupation were the only duty which circum-
stances had imposed upon him. His published sketches show
that they are the deductions of one possessing a habit of close
observation, a keen sense of humor, and one who is at the same
time a shrewd but mirth-loving man of the world. He "turns
out " a pathetic incident, or invests solid sober counsel with all
the charm of half-earnest but penetrating pleasantry with equal
adroitness; and his writings, pathetic or "light," are ever
replete with shrewd and wholesome suggestions.
In his literary treatment of the telegraphic profession — a field
where some of his earliest triumphs were won — there is not one
competitor to approach him. — As a far-seeing critic he has
proved himself fearless and just, yet so good-natured, that his
victims can never muster up feelings of resentment, but rather
profit by his lecturing. Nor is his strength as a writer confined
to prose. His poetical eftbrts are well represented. The
estimation in which Mr. Phillips is held by the telegraphic
profession is best determined by the numerous spontaneous
outbursts which greet him in the journals, published l\v that
interesting and generally intelligent fraternity. Many poetical
offerings have been made to him by his admirers, which, al-
though they evince a lusty appreciation of Mr. Phillips, are
hardly worth more than l)are mention.

CURFEW BELLS.
By -John Oakum.
Naples, 1870.
A graud okl hymu sang those village bells,
Which I heard in the golden past ;
Their cadence was mellow, but clear and high
And I hear them again 'neath the starlit sky !
And a spell o'er my soul is cast.
I stand again midst whispering trees.
And their murmur a story tells
Of wonderful valor, of love and fame,
While I listen with longings too sweet to name
To the song of those evening bells.
There are thoughts I fancied were gone for aye.
But they come trooping back to-night ;
There are unspoken hopes and visions rare,
A locket of gold and a ringlet of hair
And a face of wondrous light.
Loved forms return at this curfew hour.
And dreams which ended in sadness ;
Old memories, sweeter than breath of June,
Scent of faded flowers and a long lost tune,
Which chasten my hours of gladness.

JOHN PHILLIPS,
OF DUXBURY. MASS.; 1638.
There was one, John Phillips of Duxbury and Marshfield,
at a very early day. The records of his family are meagre,
scattering and unsatisfactory. It is evident that no record was
kept by him, for we are informed by the Plymouth Colony
Records that John Phillips of Marshtield, and Faith Doty of
Plymouth, signed a marriage contract by making their marks,
Feb. 23, 16G6 [1G67 x. s.]. He was doubtless the progenitor
of a large family which appears to include those given under
Nos. 70 to 89 of this work. After referring to various writers
whose accounts are sometimes contiictino- the followinoj state-
ments appear to he the most nearly correct :
No. 68.
John^ Phillips, born in England, 1G02, where he married.
•He came to Duxbury as early as July, 1638, and bought a
house and land there of Robert Mendall, Oct. 19, 1639, "pay-
ments to be made yearly, every first day of Oct., at the house of
Mr. Winthrop, in Boston." After 1643 he lived in Marshfield,
where he was highway surveyor in 1655, and constable in 1657.
July 31, 1658, his son John was killed by lightning.* He
married for second wife, July 6, 1654, widow Grace Hollo-
way, and she with their son Jeremiah were killed by lightning,
* " Being at work in the meadow, making hay, a tempest suddenly arose and he
immediately started for the nearest house. Having entered he sat down between the
door and the chimney, when the lightning struck the chimney, and (lescendii%,
passed out the dooi-. knocking him lifeless on the groi\mV'—3Iather MSS.

June 23, 1666.* He married (3d) Mar. 14, 1667, Faith

account says he died in 1677, but this may be a mistake refer-
ring to the time of her death, for another says he probably died
Oct., 1691, almost ninety years old. Children :

* The account is related in a letter from Rev. Samuel Arnold of Marshfield, to Rev.
Mr. Mather of Boston, 1683, and given by Winsor as follows : There were, at the
house of John Phillips, fourteen persons. " Instantly a terrible clap of thunder fell
upon the house and rent the chimney, and split the door in many places, and struck
most of the persons, if not all." Three were " mortally struck with God's arrows,
that they never breathed more.'' They were the wife of Mr. Phillips, and his son,
aged about ten years, and one, Wm. Shertley [Shurtletf] , " who had a little child in
his arms, which was wonderfully preserved." This Shertley had just before been
burnt out of his own house, and with his family, was at this time, "a present
sojourner at said Phillips'." — Mather MSS.
t Mitchell, in his History of Bridgewater, mentions Benjamin as son of John- who
was killed by lightning, and grandson of Johni of Duxbury, 163s ; but Savage, vol. 3,
p. 412, gives information indicating that Benjamin was son of John i of Duxbury by
second marriage, which is much more probable.

* There are good reasons for believing that Capt. John Philh'ps may have been the
oldest sou, b. 1682, of Benjamin- and Sarah (Thomas) Phillips, of Marshfield, and
grandson of Johu.i of Duxbury, 1038, and, if so, the brother of Thomas who sett.
iu E. Bridgewater about 1735. The coiueideuce of names and dates points directly to
this source. In that case the number of his generation should be (III.) instead of
(I.) and the number of each succeeding generation should be changed to coincide.
t For the following statements the compiler is indebted to Mr. Geo. Bassett of Ash-
field, a descendant of Capt. John Philliiis.
The town of Ashtield, called Huntstowu prior to 1765, was granted to a company
of soldiers for service in an expedition to Canada in 1090, commanded by Capt.
Ephraim Hunt of Weymouth. There were three in that company by the name of
Phillips. The first settler of Ashfield was Richard Ellis as stated above. The second
was Thomas Phillips; the third was Ebenezer Smith, whose wife was Richard ElHs's
daughter. Thomas Phillips lived in Deertield a wliile, '' whether any more than a
short time being afraid of the Indians, I do not know." In the above company thei'e
was John Phillips who drew lot No. 6 in the first division. John Phillips drew for
Richard Phillips lot No. 13. Joshua Phillips, "who, I suppose, was my grand-
mother's brother." drew for Joshua Phillips lot No. 56. The proprietors of Huntstown
met and chose John Phillips moderator, Marcli, 1738, 1739 and 174:0; "John Phillips
committee to lay out lots, committee to build a corn mill 1743. Thomas Phillips was
chosen on a committee to see that no one should carry white pine timber out of town;
Caleb Phillips and Thomas Phillips on a committee to settle the boundary between
Huntstowu and Deerfield; Caleb Phillips to have the care of the corn mill; Thomas
Phillips to lay out 100 acre lots ; Philip Phillips collector. 1769." There M'as a Benja-
min Phillips who had seven sous born from 1750 to 1767: "I think," writes Mr.
Bassett, " they were my grandmother Mercy Phillips's relatives."

* Wednesday, Aug. 8, 1877, was the day set apart by this family for a reunion at
the residence of Charles Phillips, Esc]., who with his estimable wife and pleasant
home made the occasion one long to be remembered by all.
The members of the family comprise eight brothers and one sister, and were all
present with their wives and families except G. H. Phillips.
At a stated hour in the afternoon all assembled at the house of Esq. Phillips, and,
grouped together in the beautiful maple arbor upon the lawn, were soon interchang-
ing greetings with each other, and relating incidents regarding the history of the
family from its earliest juvenile years down to the present. A special feature of the
hour was an extensive collection of fine views of all the principal towns and cities
and great men and buildings which had been carefully collected by Philip Phillips,
the sweet singer, in his travels around the world upon his mission of Christian song,
and with the classified arrangements which he was able to give them, made, as it
were, panoramic pictures of the countries and places through which he had passed.

:md for an hour or two the company travelled in thought with him through the great
cities and towns of the oriental lands and old country.
Immediately following this pictured jonrney. the friends gathered into the house
and were pleasantly seated in the parlor, where all joined in singing — •' And are we
yet alive and see each other's face y" after which appropriate portions of the Scrip-
tures were read in concert, and all again joined in singing — " Nearer my God to
Thee." At the closing line of this beautiful hymn the host, Mr. Charles Phillips,
arose and in a few very appropriate remarks, admirably suited to the occasion, spoke,
with feelings at times too full for utterance, his gratitude to God for the opportunity
of seeing and meeting his brothers and sisters upon this occasion, and expressed a
desire that all would kneel and join with brother Philip in prayer, thanking God for
his protecting care which had so tenderly followed them. Remarks were then made
by Dr. T. D. Phillips, the oldest brother, with reference to the anticipated meeting
they were then enjoying which he had been looking forward to during the past year;
and, while much crowded the mind that he would like to speak of, he felt too much
overcome with emotions of graiitude and love to speak them out. Williston Phillips,
the next in years, followed with touching and feeling remarks appropriate to the hour,
followed by Dr. A. P. Phillips, whose tender feelings were so touched by the hallowed
influences of the hour, made touching mention of the present meeting and the bright
hopes he had of a meeting above, where he felt was a member of his own family
awaiting him, and the tender thread of life that was still holding together the living
members of the same brought him into sweet sympathy with the associations of the
hour and the thought of the Heaven beyond. Appropriate remarks were made by
the uncle and aunt who had been so intimately known by the family from its earliest
history, followed by the youngest brother, Z. Barney Phillips, who from his experi-
ences during severe illness since the last meeting, spoke of the sweet faith which
enabled him in the hours of near approach to the dark valley of death to penetrate its
shadows and behold the beautiful sunlight beyond, with an eai'uest hope that all
present might so live that when the tinal message should come all would have this
sweet assurance and feel the presence of the dear Saviour in the last hour. Philip
referred gratefully to the privileges he had and had improved of praying for each
member of the family in every clime and country around the world, and felt the
influences of his brothers' and sisters" prayers had helped him.
This closing the devotional exercises of the hour, the company, numbering thirty-
seven adults and children, were escorted according to age lo the pleasant office-rooms
of Esq. Phillips adjoining the bouse, where were spread three tables with easy sittings
for all, representing the three generations which were present. The rooms where
these tables were so luxuriously spread were also most beautifully decorated with
flowers and evergreens, and appropriate mottoes, the most beautiful and touching
one being an excellent portrait of the father hanging entwined with evergreens and
immortelles and just beneath these words, "We are all here.*' Being seated the
blessing was sung, led by Philip Phillips, and was in the following beautiful words
which all joined in singing:
" Be preseul at our table, Lord,
Be here and everywhere adored.
These mercies bless, and grant that we
May feast iu Paradise with Thee."
The magnificent and ample repast was now partaken of; and as the curtains of
night began to draw their shadows about the beautiful hillsides and silvery lake the
family separated, going to their homes and diflerent fields of labor, but resolving to
renew as often as possible these sweet reunions of earth.— Fredonia Censor.

of the Missouri river — no white settlement beyond until you
reached Salt Lake City, one thousand miles. That was in

2. Grenville Mellen Dodge, b. iu Dauvevs, April 12, 1831 ;
civil engineer. The following brief outline of his eventful and
remarkable career, with the letter of commendation from Gen.
Sherman, the compiler is enabled to give through the kindness
of N. P. Dodge, his brother.
His advantages for early education were quite limited, having
only the benefits of common schools during the winters. Be-
tween the ages of ten and seventeen he worked summers at
gardening and farming, and as a clerk in a general mercantile
store. He occupied his leisure hours during these years in
fitting himself for college, and in 1844 entered the Norwich
Military University of Vermont. In 1851 he emigrated to the
West and settled in Peru, III., as civil engineer. His settle-
ment here was followed for two years by his participation iu
the locating and construction of several of the most important
railroad lines of that region. He afterwards moved to Iowa
City. In 1853 he made a reconnoisance west of the Missouri
river, with a view of determining the location of the great
Pacific Railroad of the future. Nov. 11, 1854, he removed to
Council Bluffs, Iowa, where he was subsequently engaged in
banking, real estate and mercantile business, and also organized
the "Council Bluffs Guards."
At the breaking out of the war in 1861, after being sent by
the government of Iowa to "Washington, to arrange for the
arming and equipment of Iowa troops, he raised the 4th Iowa
Infantry regiment, of which he was commissioned Colonel, and
also the 2d Iowa (Dodge's) Battery. In July, 1861, he
marched with his command into Missouri, and was successful
iu operating against the Confederate forces which were then
152 GENEALOGY OF THE FAMILY [No. 96.
occupying that State. He reported with his regiment and
battery in August, 1861, to General Fremont at St. Louis,
and was soon after assigned to the command of the fourth
brigade, and led the advance in the capture of Springfield, Mo.
He took a prominent part in the celebrated battle of Pea
Ridge, had three horses killed under him, and was seriously
wounded. He was made Brigadier General for his gallant
conduct in this battle. After recovering from his wounds he
was designated to command the district of Columbus, Ky.,
and while holding the command, defeated several forces of the
enemy, capturing Gen. Faulkner, near Island No. 10, and
taking many prisoners. Late in 1862, having previously been
given the command of the 2d division of the Army of the Ten-
nessee, he was assigned to the command of the district of
Corinth, Miss. He opened the campaign of 1863 by defeating
the confederate forces under Forrest, Roddy, Fergueson and
others. July 5th, 1863, he was assigned to the command of
the left wing of the 16th Army Corps, with headquarters at
Corinth, Miss. His forces made a raid on Grenada, Miss., in
connection with a movement from Vicksburg, which resulted
in driving the enemy south of that place, and capturing fifty-
five locomotives and a thousand cars.
While at the head of the 16th Army Corps, he joined Gen.
Sherman in his march to Chattanooga, and in the Spring of
1864, was entrusted with the advance of the Army of the
Tennessee. His corps took part in all the battles of Gen.
Sherman's forces in the march from Chattanooga to Atlanta.
In recognition of his services in this campaign, he was made
Major General by the General Government. During the siege
of Atlanta, his energetic and well timed action in moving his
forces against the enemy under Hood, resulted in saving the
stores and transportation of the Army of the Tennessee, and
the army from a threatened condition. A few weeks after the
battle of Atlanta, the army still besieging that city, Gen.
Dodge received a gunshot wound in the forehead while standing
in a rifle pit, on the skirmish line, superintending an advance.
This was on the 19th of August, 1864. He soon after reported
to Gen. Sherman for duty, but, owing to his physical condition,
was ordered to the district of Vicksburg, and immediately
transferred to the department of the Missouri by the President
of the United States, relieving Gen. Rosecranz.

Missouri was overruu by Guerillas, and the national troops
were in bad condition. He soon brought the army into good
standing, effectually quelled the general Indian outbreak which
just then threatened the whole frontier, and a vigorous fight
was made against the Guerillas of Missouri, Arkansas and the
Indian Territory. He received the surrender of 4000 of Kirby
Smith's army in Missouri, and of the confederate general,
Jeff. Thompson, with 8000 officers and men in Arkansas. At
the close of the war. Gen. Dodge's command was made to
include the whole Indian country of the West and North-west.
At his urgent request he was relieved of his command in
June, 186G, and, on retiring from the army, was appointed
Chief Engineer of the Union Pacific Railroad. He was nomi-
nated for Congress by the Republicans of the oth Iowa district
in 1S66, and elected by a majority 2000 higher than had ever
been given in that district. He declined a reuomination and
returned to push forward the construction of the Union Pacific
Railroad. To this great work he bent all his energies. As
chief engineer of the road, he made the plans for the great
iron bridge which spans the Missouri River between Council
Bluff's and Omaha, having charge of its construction till the
time of his leaving the road as chief engineer. He supervised
the relations of the road with the government, saw that the law
was adhered to and the work conscientiously done, having no
interest in the Construction Company, its contracts or profits.
In 1868 the Union Pacific Railroad was completed, and very
soou afterwards Gen. Dodge became Chief Engineer of the
Southern Pacific, now the Texas and Pacific Railroad, where he
took control of the surveys and construction, and from July,
1872, to December, 1873, he completed the surveys along the
thirty-second parallel of latitude from Sherman, Texas to the
Pacific Ocean at San Diego, a distance of 1900 miles, and also
put under construction 500 miles of the road. Since 1873 he
has been engaged in the management of the Union Pacific and
other western railroads.
General Dodge is a member of the Odd Fellows, and takes
an interest in whatever develops his State, American society
and the country at large. His characteristics are, — great
energy, industry, and persistency in any work he undertakes.
His honor and integrity are unimpeachable.

When coutemplatiug a visit to Europe with his family, iu the
season of 1877, he received the following letter :
"Headquarters Army of the United States,
Washington, D. C, April 20, 1877.
To U. S. Consuls, Abroad :
I have just learned that General G. M. Dodge is about going to
Europe, where he may leave his children to school whilst he returns
to America, where he is actively employed iu railroad construction
and management.
I take great pleasure in commending Genl. Dodge and family to
the courtesy and politeness of all Americans, especially such as
occupy official positions, because Genl. Dodge is one of the Generals
who actually fought throughout the Civil War, with great honor and
great skill, commanding a regiment, brigade, division, and finally a
corps cVarmee, the highest rank command to which any officer can
attain.
He was with me in the West, especially in the Atlanta campaign
where he was severely wounded, close to Atlanta, and I therefore
think that he and especially his children, should experience the atten-
tion of all officers of a Government that might have perished had it
not been for the blood of just such men as General Dodge.
With great respect, &c.,
W. T. SHERMAN,
General."

carried on in that place by the firm of J. ]M. Phillips & Sons.
He was a member of the Legislature in 1856. In 1870 he

had brought attainments by culture and refinement which
qualified for much usefulness. Deeply impressed with a sense
of the great need of Christian work in every department of
society, she actively sought to do good and to promote the
personal comfort and spiritual well being of all whom she could
reach. Self-denying and conscientious, but kind and courteous
iu her intercourse with all, she endeared herself to a circle of
warm friends." She was in her usual place at the religious
meeting of the Wednesday evening preceding her death, and

FAMILY OF WALTER PHILLIPS,
OF DAMARISCOTTA, ME., 1661.
No. 99.
(I.) AA^alter Phillips, who was one of the John Mason
colony that settled the "Sheepscott Plantation" about 1630,
tirst appears in the early records in 1661, when he bought by
deed of the Indians land at Damariscotta, Me.* In 1665 he
was appointed clerk and recorder of a land commission for that
part of Maine.
In 1680 the village of "Sheepscott Plantation" was burnt
by the Indians, and Walter Phillips and others fled to Charles-
town, Mass. In 1689 he was appointed by the General Court
a tavern-keeper at Salem village, now Peabody.
In 1693, John Phillips and his brother Walter, Senr., bought
about 500 acres of land of Daniel King, in the eastern part of
Swampscott, Mass., then called "Linn."
In 1694, John Phillips died, and Walter, Senr., was ap-
pointed guardian of his three children, John, Jacob and Hannah,
